FS: Burmester 785 preamp

[andyrlb]

As I now know that I prefer a valve/hybrid pre this is up for grabs.

I will be replacing the power supply caps , some tantalum caps and a couple of resistors ( they should arrive from Mouser tomorrow)
one rca/phono socket was broken off when I got this so I’ve now replaced that .

This is surprisingly heavy and given its rarity its for collection only ( MK5 )

MM/MC
There is a switch on the side which I presume is for different cartridges ( 1mv and 5mv ) this is factory standard.
I have no means to test the apparently very good phono stage .

The lettering has worn away around the volume knob.

£500
