    Default Sellers with rose tinted specs

    I guess we have all seen examples of sellers who are deluded/mistaken about the condition of the gear they are trying to sell.

    Here is my current favourite. The condition is described as “v good CONDITION -just minor splitting of the wood” Its a £5000 amplifier.

    Cracks encourage ecological diversity, why should a wildlife friendly designer's vision be realised cheaply?

    Probably caused by too much heat - either not enough rear ventilation or a nearby radiator.

    Looks like an Italian job. Tektron?
