Yep, same one, same basic description. I think the price has gone up a couple of G's, too.

Same guy, same 600. Needs too much work to consider paying that kind of money.
It just went up...perhaps she is a bogus listing.

i think i also recognize the rusted capstan?

the seller's previous transactions are sometimes a clue to validity.
if somebody has been selling exclusively ceramic knick-knacks and
bric-a-brac for 5 years, then suddenly turns up with a chamberlin
or an ems synthi, it's possibly a stolen account. this seller does
not have a lot of activity, and much of it is stretched over a long
period of time, makingit hard to determine what they have been dealing
in - the last tranaction was incomplete and was for a lexicon 480L at
over $6000. hard to say, but i'd be wary for sure...

[not that i have about 15 large to drop on this anyway...]

I swore too after I looked at it, and swear that it had been maintained...by Soupy Sales (no relation to Sound Sales).

In fairness, having viewed the 600 at the guy's studio, he does have a few pieces of vintage recording gear and amps that I'd sure like to have in MY studio. The previous owner lives nearby and also had a MkII (also not in very good condition) at the time he owned this 600, along with a small R.A. Moog modular synth, a Studer A800 24-track and an old EMI board (which he claimed came from Abbey Road). Both are the offspring of rich parents who have $ to burn and both have a grossly overinflated opinion as to what these respective pieces of equipment is worth.

It is indeed a legit listing, but "working" seems to be a relative term in this case. Perhaps "complete" and "turns on and makes sounds" would be more accurate from what I've found. It debuted at $19995 and then lost a thousand the second time, didn't change the third time, and has now dropped again for the current listing.
