IT HAS BEEN TESTED AND HARDWARE TIGHTENED. IT STILL HAS THAT GREAT QUALITY UNIQUE PHASE SHIFTER SOUND OF MUTRON AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND READY TO USE. IT DOES HAVE A FEW DINGS AND SCRATCHES BUT MECHANICALLY & ELECTRONICALLY TESTED AND READY FOR THE ROAD OR STUDIO. THE JACKS, KNOBS (POTS), SWITCHES ALL WORK WELL. CORDS AND CONNECTORS IN GOOD SHAPE. IT HAS A SOLID 2-PIECE CHASSIS WITH A BUILT-IN MIC STAND MOUNT ON THE BOTTOM. THE FOOT SWITCH HAS FOUR HARDY RUBBER FEET AND 2 HEAVY-DUTY QUALITY (FOOT) SWITCHES TO RUN BOTH PHASORS A & B. EACH PHASOR SOURCE CAN BE SET INDEPENDANTLY OR CAN BE QUICKLY SWITCHED WITH A KNOB TO BE GANGED TOGETHER. THESE ARE NO LONGER MADE, SOMEWHAT RARE AND GETTING HARDER TO FIND. MUSITRONICS IS SAID TO BE BANKRUPT AND THESE ARE THE LAST OF THE LATE 70'S ERA OF MANY DIFFERENT SMALLER PHASE SHIFTERS ON THE MARKET AT THE TIME. ONLY A FEW OF THEM WERE AS COMPLEX AS THIS ONE. NONE WERE AS LARGE AND COULD BE CONFIGURED IN ALMOST INFINITE WAYS. IT BASICALLY FEATURES THE 2 PHASORS WHICH CAN BE RUN IN SERIES OR PARRALLEL AND EACH SWEPT WITH YOUR CHOICE OF A SINE OR SQUARE WAVE WITH THE OPTION OF SYNCHRONIZING IN PHASE (NORMAL) OR 180 DEGREES OUT (REVERSE). YOU CAN SPEND HOURS PLAYING WITH THIS AND NEVER GET THE SAME SOUNDS. THERE IS THE CLASSIC FAT, DEEP, SLOW, JET ENGINE PHASE THAT PINK FLOYD WOULD USE ALL THE WAY TO THE FAST SPINNING LELSIE SPEAKER CABINET SOUND THAT STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN USED, OR BOTH ! REMEMBER, THIS IS A DUAL PHASE SHIFTER. SET ONE SLOW AND ONE FAST, VERY THE DEPTH AND FEEDBACK. IT'S REALLY HARD TO DESCRIBE HOW COOL IT IS. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT EVEN IN TODAY'S COMPLEX DIGITAL EFFECTS INDUSTRY. THE ONLY THING THAT IS NOT ORIGINAL IS THE FOUR BLACK PLASTIC KNOBS ON THE RIGHT. THE REST IS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL AND WORKS LIKE THE DAY IT WAS MADE.   I HAVE INCLUDED COPIES OF A CHARTED 3 PAGE SCHEMATIC IN THE RARE EVENT OF REPAIRS TO AIDE YOUR TECHNICIAN. THERE IS SOME INFO ON THE NET SUCH AS WAV FILES TO EXHIBIT SAMPLES OF THE UNMATCHED VARIOUS EFFECTS YOU CAN GET FROM THIS DEVICE. PLEASE NOTE: EMAIL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING.
