Great, vintage vacuum tube pre-amp. It adds a tangible warmth to your recordings. There are many uses for it and I am sure you are aware of them. There are some cosmetic problems. This is a 30 year-old device, so that is to be expected. I am going to be incredibly detailed here, to inform you as much as possible.
Cosmetic problems:
The cover of the “post-trim” knob on Channel 2 is missing. The cover of the “12 khz” knob on channel 2 is missing .
There is a scratchy sound when you move several knobs, but not when the knobs are set in place. So it does not affect recordings at all. This scratching sound is just when you adjust, not when you have your settings in place. The glass dial cover on the second channel display is loose/recessed. This does not affect the sonic function of channel two. It just means the dial may not move the same to reflect the sound coming in. This is an easy, aesthetic fix. It does not affect your recordings
There is some smudging on the display dial of Channel 2. That can be cleaned easily. There are some scratches here and there on the chassis.
All of the knobs turn fine, some catch slightly when you turn them. Once again, this is an old device and that is to be expected.
Please turn the brightness up on your phone when looking through the pictures to see as many details as possible.
