Good luck, but they don't seem to come up often. You may need to buy a new 12r, with (say) a 10% discount. If you buy without an arm lead, from South West Analogue, it should be even cheaper. As far as I know, they are a good dealer.
Not sure I have ever seen a 12R for sale. Certainly seem quite rare. Personally, with precision mechanical objects, I prefer to buy new anyway.

I had a feeling it would be a bit of a longshot. I have never seen a used one come up.Originally Posted by paskinn
South West Analogue don't seem to have a website, both the URL's I found in a Google search are dead links.
