This compressor came from a California engineer who is in the process of downsizing his massive collection. He had removed it from a local station approximately 20 years ago. Since then, it’s sat in his radio room as a display piece. From what we can tell, it’s complete and all original. It’s a little dirty from years of being stored in an open-air rack, but should clean up well! The unit will have to be recapped before it can be used, and other components (resistors, etc) may need replacement as well. Also, we cannot guarantee the life of the tubes as we have not tested them. The tubes will be removed and boxed to ensure they reach you in good condition. This item will be packaged using our InstaPak foam-in-bag system, ensuring the utmost protection! Bags filled with a chemical mixture expand around your item and harden to form a protective, yet forgiving, foam barrier. IMPORTANT: You will only receive what is photographed.
