Re: Anyone interested in a (non-working) Crumar Stratus?

2012-10-11 by nervejam

Right. I've retrieved it from storage.
I'd forgotten how big it is!  Nearly did meself a mischief :(
Cosmetically it's very good, APART from the "wooden" end cheeks - they're a bit rough, and one of them has a slightly rough corner.
I've powered it up, the "power" light comes on, and the lighted switches work. The "phase" light pulses as expected.
The "Rate" led just stays on all the time.
I can't get any sound out of it, but that may be because I don't have a proper amp for it.
I'm uploading the photos to the "photos" section right now. Look for the "Crumar Stratus for sale" album..

I should point out that I've already had some interest in this from group members.

It weighs 19KG. Parcelfarce is quoting £27, but I can get the same service (parcelfarce) for about £15 if I go through parcel2go..
Not sure how THAT works.
