Something for the vintage dCS completist! There will many people in Japan and around with their older dCS studio gear still in use at home, 952s and 972 combos .
dCS 992 Master Clock - can even be linked to GPS clock just in case and with a seemless transition from that to internal clock when signal losses occur.. Pretty rare beast and probably ok pricing for the opening bid (a new Apogee Big Ben Master Clock will be just as expensive and not have as many features)
:eek: You got it? I thought that was a great bargain although I have one too which cost me about the same after selling on the SME Improved it came with, but that was a back-door deal after I saw it had been won by someone overseas and it was strictly collection only (always worth getting in contact even if you miss an item!)Quote:

I figured these were more in the £800 - £1000 range, at least sonically, comparable to nicely plinthed SP10s etc.
Just realised it only ended yesterday - they must have had a non-paying bidder as it was for sale back in Dec by the same people - you got lucky they didn't pay!
Yes, it is indeed heading my way. I put a cheeky last minute bid on and was quite surprised that I won it - I expected it to go for more but knew I'd have kicked myself if I didn't at least have a go.
Be interesting to see what sort of state it's in when it arrives!
you have got to read the sellers description , this must be one powerful amp:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Oh dear... He's basically just told everyone its been thoroughly abused & is faulty. Theres no way it could trip the mains unless there's something seriously wrong with it.
As for power ? Well it uses a pair of 40w STK modules as found in "midi systems" the world over... I'll let you make your own mind up :D
I bet it will be working but need a clean (probably a new strobe bulb). Those cheap-as-chips people just get in loads of discarded items from tips, recycling centres etc etc and sell them on without testing (in general) I've bought some good stuff from them, all working (although I'd avoid their crates of vinyl! Mostly only fit for charity shops and mine were damp).Quote:

And don't lick your fingers after handling the mounting plate - it's made of lead!
Maybe get someone to start it up with a variac and current draw meter just to check nothing untoward is happening when powered up.
Guys, anyone around LE8 LEICESTER? Thanks
