Was looking on ebay for some MKII's and picked up these ...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT
Anyway. The guy delievered them. I quickly checked them over and tested them whilst he was here. No problems at all. Can't find any traces of dust on them, they are very clean, few slight marks but that's to be expected.
He said the tone arm was wobbly a bit. So, he bought a new one but didn't fit it. He showed me whilst he was here. When he left I laughed. The wobbly tone arm is because when it's clipped in there is slight movement because the clip is a little bit lose. If you remove it from the clip and hold the back of it, no movement at all. Solid.
I also found no issue with the ground leads causing any hum/buzz/crackle. I think it might be that poor mixer. I have a pioneer mixer anyway which was showing no errors. (That KAM mixer I am giving away if anyone in the UK wants it). Leads are also in good condition. Usually the ground leads are ruined if they've been used for gigs.
They had obviously been sitting in his bedroom. There was no covers, but there is no surface, or trapped dust, so he's looked after them well.
I don't know the going rate for these anymore. When I looked at new MKII's they seemed to have increased in value since 2006 when I got a pair. Bargin?
