Both turntables, power supplies/controllers and plinths are modular and can be unplugged from the main cabinet. These are accessed from the front hinged down control panel. The white console is in a nice clean condition. If studied closely there are a few little marks here and there consistent with studio use but nothing major. Please examine my photos for general cosmetics. The cabinet dimensions are - W-96cm D-67cm H-102cm. As this unit is heavy (approx 78Kg on castors), I would appreciate personal collection please. However, should you wish to have this unit shipped inside or outside the UK - please contact me for a quotation. I would appreciate your shipping inquiry prior to bidding - thank you.
Should you have further questions, I will be pleased to answer. Thanks for looking and best wishes. |
