This transmitter has been exposed to moisture/water at some point, as the bottom of the chassis and cabinet have a good amount of corrosion and rust. The good news is that the electronic components have never been wet as they are completely free of corrosion. The faceplate looks good and the cabinet has relatively few scratches. It has a very high serial number (this is why the price is a little high given the condition), which is great if you’re a collector. Also, it appears complete and free of modification. We briefly powered it on and the tube filaments lit up, however no further testing has been done. This will make an excellent candidate for restoration! This equipment is part of a very large silent-key estate we recently acquired, all of which has been in a storage unit for approximately 15 years. We have not done any testing beyond what is specifically mentioned above. There are a few reasons for this, but it essentially comes down to the fact that they almost always need some level of service and it’s simply not cost effective to pay our technician to spend time going through them. It may or may not need components replaced (caps, resistors, tubes, etc), controls cleaned/lubricated, alignment, and so on. Unless you are qualified and capable of working on this unit yourself, or are willing to pay a qualified individual to do the work for you, we suggest you revisit the idea of whether this is the right equipment for you. This item will be packaged using our InstaPak foam-in-bag system, ensuring the utmost protection! Bags filled with a chemical mixture expand around your item and harden to form a protective, yet forgiving, foam barrier. IMPORTANT: You will only receive what is photographed.
