FS pair Crown M600 amps

[kjunom]

These are heavy: 92 lbs each.

Some quick info here:
Crown International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's a service manual:

One is unused. One is used. Used enough that it was dropped (before I got it) and bent one of the front handles. Still works fine. 92 lbs and only bent the handle. They are built really, really strong. The AC plug for the wall outlet is a higher current plug than the typical home outlet. I am in central NJ.

I was told by a crown rep once that they used the M600's to drive shaker tables at .25ohm load! said they would do 600 watts into any load even a dead short. now im sure he was stretching the truth a bit but apparently these things are quite the brutes!

Hi,
I didn't want to discuss pricing first. Usually condition first. But anyway, not a lot of these around for comparison. I was thinking of $200 for the "used" and $300 for the "new". My pricing is usually either too low and they sell quick or high and there is no interest. I shipped a pair of 15" JBL speakers to California once, but have never shipped anything like these. I'm not sure if cardboard boxes will work. Shipping costs extra of course.

I can take pics for anyone with a serious interest.

as these are over 70lbs they will have to go truck freight. Fedex will take them but shipping costs will be $70-100 each or more. you will need to double box these using heavy heavy duty double if not triple corrugated boxes. I buy styrofoam sheets from Home depot and cut the styrofoam to fit. with a 92lb amp you will need at least 3-4" on all sides for it to survive. I would put one layer of 2" styrofoam around it and place it in a properly sized box. then 2" around the outside of that box and play that combo into a lager box. its a lot of work but that is the ONLY way it will survive shipping through a normal carrier. or you could strap them to a pallet and ship via truck....

UPS will destroy these period. Fedex is MUCH better for stuff like this. i have shipped well over 4400 packages now with Fedex and not a one damaged! UPS shows up here and what once was a square box now looks like a round mashed ball!

some other 411. I was told Fedex has overhead conveyor belts 12' off the ground that run at 35mph. packages can fall off the belt. I have never had it happen to one of my packages but it can happen.

UPS loaders (had a friend that was one) get paid by the package to load. so they toss, chunk, kick, fling, and damn near catapult packages into the trucks.

Packing Peanuts should be banned! if you are shipping a beach ball. ok fine. use em. but anything over a couple of pounds will crush those things into dust! I once had someone ship me a 60lb deck in huge box and they just tossed the deck into the peanuts and thought that would be ok....well...the deck bounced around inside the box. grinding those peanuts into flour, the deck was destroyed. the box was destroyed and UPS wouldn't cover it as it was improperly packed!


(steps down off soapbox)

Sorry for the rant...

UPS has busted/damaged many of my items! They will not cover it EVEN if it was insured !!! They don't even give back the insurance cost..... People should complain to your states Attorney General Office and log complaints. UPS is just a rip-off when it come to insurance coverage.....
