Condition: This unit is in very good physical condition as shown in photos. I would rate it easily 8.0 out of 10. The unit was recently serviced by DALAUDIO. All switches, selectors, potentiometers, were cleaned and tested. The tuning shaft was lubricated and glides with ease. All lamps were replaced with incandescent original style bulbs to keep the vintage look. Replaced all tantalum capacitors with electrolytic capacitors on the tone board, and flat amp board. All caps in PSU have been tested. The amp bias and DC offset current was set to spec and both channels tested at moderate levels and high levels for 4.5 hours. The amp was load tested with load resistors at full output for an hour, then DC offset checked and was well within specifications in service manual. A copy of the manual is available if you bring a USB drive.
