Subject: Re: (Defective) Trident MK2 for Sale (Re: [PolySix] Problem with Trident MK2 Signal Generator)

From: Niels Ott <niels.ott@web.de>
Date: 2007-05-12

Some pictures: http://www.drni.de/niels/for-sale/tridentmk2/

In case you're interested, write personal mail. Please do also give
country, city name, and postal code, this will enable me to find a
shipping company with a good price. The whole thing (Trident + Case) is
approx. 36kg which makes it more difficult.
