Below are a whole bunch of items taking up too much space! Because of this you worthy people out there, and you dumpster divers!!!! can offload these babes from me for a minimal impact on you pocket.
All items are sold "as is". All are in good condition unless otherwise stated. Some are even immaculate and unused! Unfortunately due to the bankruptcy inducing prices of most of these items, there is no further discount available, sorry.

SJS Arcadia Model 1 pre-amplifier. There is a special prototype unit available directly to you, from me. Warranty is 12 months parts and labour on the finished amps, with 3 months on the valves.
This unit is a special pre-production prototype which is based upon a Model 1 chassis. It has an additional outboard dual-mono power supply which makes it truly unique, and lifts the performance to another level. Casework is near perfect.
None available at the present time.
All sold "as is" no warranty implied or offered. i.e. buyer beware etc. However, the prices are good if you want to gamble!
