The service and repair of our customers’ equipment is our most important labor, therefore we are not able to fulfill every photo request we receive (nor would a photo qualify what’s vital here, the internal components!). AudioPro has been in this business for better than thirty years, we have a tremendous reputation, and we take great care to accurately describe the mechanical and cosmetic condition of all items. We rate equipment on a scale from one to ten. #10 items are new stock in original box. (Anything we ship has been opened and tested.) #9 units, regardless of age, look and work as good as new, technically qualified with very low use time (perfect face plate, no overheated power supply or damaged connectors). #8 units are in very good condition, serviced and guaranteed working correctly, but do show minor signs of use such as rack wear or very light scratches on a cover, edge, or knob. #7 condition items are working correctly but show obvious signs of use and wear as described. Often such items have faded lettering or minor stains, and connectors may be lightly oxidized. For example, tube electronics seldom get better than #7 or #8 rating. Items rated #6 condition or lower may be incomplete or have operational problems and typically do not appear on our website. We have a large inventory of “junk” #6 and lower machines that we save to break down for parts, so please feel welcome to contact us for any specific parts you need.
Our policy is to search out only top quality condition machines, so most of our equipment truly is #9 condition. We aren’t Ebay or Craigslist, and we don’t find good equipment there!
