@One-eyeJimmy Thank you for your offer, but I like it too much to let it go for that. But you can have DRM-700 for €230.

Hi, just wondering, when the deck had service? Thank you
sabat1970 1 month ago
@Mack72 Bought it roughly 10 months ago and the seller claimed it was recently serviced. After I inspected it looked like he wasn't lying. I service my decks if needed but this wasn't a case. It's current part of my set-up and in every day use. Works like a dream and I'd hate to see it go. I don't give any warranty on my decks as they're 30 or more years old components but I do offer aftercare/service if required. Thanks.

@joetaylor79 Thank you for your offer but it's a reluctant sale therefore I'd be looking for an asking price. Best I can do is free shipping. Thanks.
