This is posted on AK also so 1st come first serve

It works but has intermittent gremlins. No balance pot issue but sometime when I first turn it on, I get a little distortion in the left channel. As soon as I move the volume knob, that issue goes away. Also something going on with the tape monitor (which I never use)

No weird hums either

Cosmetically, looks pretty good but not perfect, I give it an 8+. The ground screw on the back works differently then I am accustomed to so I would also replace that when recapping. I got this from a AK'er last year but use my Perreaux SA3 mainly so letting this one go

Get it recapped and you will have a killer preamp with a very highly regarded phono section w/ adjustable loading

I am selling this as a non-working unit but you can use it. I have no problems using it for the TT and CD player other then what is disclosed

$125 shipped in the US, I would appreciate a quick hassle free sale, no tire kicking, no beating the price down

PayPal F/F please or add 3% for the fee to: topeliminator@earthlink.net

Please post SOLD and PM me your shipping info
