Clearly very little use. I've examined the inside of the amplifier and all is well. Very rarely have I ever seen such a well presented amplifier from this period circa 1982, it's near on ex-demonstration with no observable scratches or damage. Amost like it's been frozen in time. The only thing I can notice is a very slight amount of dust behind the receiver digital readout.

Also has a MM phono stage for turntables. All potentiometers work well. A very pretty amplifier in my opinion. A quick search online reveals quite a fan club and a number of people singing it's praises.

The box will be clearly labeled GLASS and FRAGILE with 5 courier labels to prevent unecessary courier movement in transit.

 

All grading is very strict, conservative & adheres to 'Record Collector' specifications. However, I have fine tuned them & they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light & play tested. ABBREVIATIONS USED  M+ / M / M- EX+ / EX / EX- VG+ / VG / VG- GD+ / GD / GD-   MINT Condition = As good as a copy you would buy from a shop, immaculate! I will not use this grading unless the item is sealed or under very special circumstances.

NEAR MINT Condition = Very nearly mint just slightly under, maybe a couple of very, very light paper sleeve scuffs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. Cover is virtually perfect - very minimal wear only. EX Condition = A clean & tidy copy that shows virtually no defects. Maybe one or two light needle scuffs or light sleeve removal marks that can only be seen under strong light. There will be no scratches. Play will be near perfect with no distortion. Cover will be very nice with maybe very minimal creasing, ring wear or edge wear. NEAR EX Condition = You can tell this record has been played a few times but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only; that barely detract from the sound quality. Cover may have slight creasing or ring wear. A very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with. VG Condition = A well played but serviceable copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won't be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won't detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ aging, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spine wear, ring wear or sticker tears. The record will not be trashed!!

WE DON'T SELL VINYL BELOW A "VERY GOOD" GRADE UNLESS PLACED IN LARGE LOTS AND CLEARLY SPECIFIED AS SUCH.

Much of the vinyl that we sell has been cleaned!

 Cleaning makes a huge difference to the sound. We use special machines to suck out and remove all dust and debris from the vinyl so that a clear groove remains for best possible playback. Larger less valuable vinyl, if specified, will have been cleaned on the VPI 16.5 machine shipped from the USA. On this setup I use an Audio Technica AT 6012X velvet cleaning pad and then vacuum all remaining fluid and debris out.

For valuable 1st pressings or collectable vinyl we clean the vinyl on a state of the art Keith Monks Discovery One as used by the BBC for transcription records. We use our own specially formulated blend of fluid that we mix ourselves and the recipe is recommended by experienced collectors. 

WE MIX OUR OWN RECORD CLEANING FLUID Please find the recipe of our cleaning fluid below

2 liter distilled water 1 litre industrial alcohol (ethanol) 0.5 liter isopropyl alcohol 30 drops of liquid detergent 4 drops of wetting agent

HERMES, DHL AND TNT MAY BE USED DEPENDING ON WEIGHT. If you are unfortunate enough to have a problem with one of these companies then it's your responsibility to let me know before your item is shipped. I use these companies to keep the cost of shipping down. If I'm required to use anyone other than my preferred courier then the shipping price will be considerably higher.

If you require tracking, insurance and a signed delivery then please let me know before I ship the item so I may quote and organise this.

WE SHIP OUR VINYL CLEARLY LABELLED FRAGILE, AS PHOTOGRAPHS OR GLASS. I ship all my vinyl in good cardboard protective envelopes with stiffeners when required. In the event that these are out of stock I will hand make an appropriate envelope out of stiff cardboard. 78rpm records are shipped in pizza style boxes or larger.
