Hi, I was directed to this forum by a friend, who told me that juicy music equipment is highly regarded by many users here. A discerning group, I'd say! I am selling my lightly used Merlin. It is in fine working condition, but does have a scratch on top, and a minor scratch on one wood side, so I would rate it a 7 or 8 out of ten. It has installed the Hal-O tube dampers. It will come in the original box, with manual. I can provide photos on request. I have not posted here before, but can direct you to my 100% positive feedback on ebay, or my 100% positive feedback on audiogon. It runs 895.00 new, and I'm asking 499.00, plus shipping from 53703. Paypal users add 3%. Cheers.
