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.

But he swears it's in perfect shape and receives regular maintenence!  
Surely, you're not suggesting he could be exaggerating?

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...

...jeff
[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.
