Yeah, but I wonder if it ever worked for the current seller ....
But it is inop at this time, it has a problem with the power supply. My tech just cant find the time to finish it. He went through it and found that some one else had tried to fix it and made it worse. So my guy made some repairs to the power supply and replaced the power caps with the proper upgraded higher temp rating caps. But it still needs more. I'm too broke to finish it. One of these just sold on ebay out of Seattle for over 1300 bucks. I have have seen these bring over 2500(thats crazy) before. It's missing 2 switch covers and I took one of the rear feet or terminal guards off to use on a spec-4 that I had.

Sounds like a money pit.

He says both that his tech can't find time to finish it AND that he is too broke to finish getting it fixed. Two different excuses...potential doorstop? Doesn't smell right to me, but ya never know.
