I can only think of two ways it could have ended up like this.

1. It did not work in the first place and somebody started to strip it for parts.
2. Somebody started a project and then had to walk away for whatever reason.

That's enough to make you weep!

Just knowing that someone thought so little of it to leave it like that.

And no way of knowing what may have been removed. Price seems very high given the uncertainties.

I would not touch this for £500
Like cas says looks like some one has started stripping it for parts so who knows what else is missing ?

Lovely machines though the Otari's

this is a better buy
