"The unit is 100% functional after a complete burn time . It's as stable and in tune as a serviced rev3 ;)Currently set for 220v opeartion, but can be set to 110v with the voltage selector.
Great cosmetical condition, with a few age wear on the knobs, wooden cabinets, and mostly , the silk screen is a bit damaged / partially erased ( see pics : filter section , "record", master tune, below the preset switches) . Beside that, everything is very clean !
Please, note that the outside screws have not been put back yet for the photos :)
