I'm in Dorchester (Dorset) in the UK and travel regularly to Buckingham (Bucks) along the A35/A31/A34. I could deliver it if you're close to either of those places or not too far from those roads. I'm not going to post it because it's 6.5kg and I've no reliable way to park the drive mechanism.

Owned for more than two decades and purchased from dealer as former demo model. It's not been used for the last 5 years or more. 16 bit version, 2* S/N implying that it could have been upgraded to 20bit at one time.

Was going to sell it as working, but on starting it up, it has a problem with skipping. Sometimes it plays perfectly, sometimes not. So I suspect a corroded/dry joint somewhere in the drive electrics but I have neither the time nor inclination to diagnose & fix (mostly too much else on my plate). In addition to this, the display switch sticks if you push it at the bottom (so don't!). It can be released with tweezers and drops the player into config menu if you power on while stuck.

Cosmetically in VGC and I have the remote.
