Sony PS-X9

I will look into it.   I have to register and hopefully, they can ship.

On another note. I've been a lurker here and the other common audio sites for years,  time has passed, financially I'm doing MUCH better.  I appreciate everyone's input / advice.   I like collecting,  and don't mind overpaying (rare / collectable) some....however, $5-$8K is much more than than I care to.

although probably not had the refurb that the one on ebay says it has but still.....

with the $ 10,000 surplus, do you know how many renovations of PS-X9 can be achieved? Many!

I recall perhaps 4 years back a fellow Canadian was transporting 
a Sony PS-X9 across the US Canadian border and was nabbed 
for not declaring the correct value, he paid the levied fine
but then had an issue he was not able to rectify.

Never heard back after that.

Sort of my point...…

for $2600 plus shipping ( which HAS to be less than the $850 being asked by Mr.eBay!), leaves around 11k.
Hopefully you would not have to spend more than your original purchase to restore which leaves you many dollars up.
It actually has my attention although I really cannot afford to spend that amount period. 
When has that ever stopped us though!

this is another matter..it is a matter of saving money by buying the one from € 2650 to pay shipment and custom clearance ... it would drive a lot of money to make more than one check at the PS-X9
