All service adjustments performed by a professional tech semi-retired with 45 years experience in high-end audio repairs to bring the preamplifier back to original factory specifications if not better. Looks, sounds & performs beautifully. The unit shows signs of use, and is clean and working properly. That being said, due to the age of this device & the uncertain nature of vintage electronics. This unit is being sold AS IS as pictured/described, meaning returns are not accepted. You are buying with this in mind. Item will ship insured with signature required. Thanks for looking!
