Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)

They kinda look like they’ve been stored in a damp shed.  You’d want to make sure the coils haven perished.  Also the cabinets are made from MDF, so that could also be fooked.

I wouldn't normally post anything off TB here, but this comment on someone's TE acquisition is too good not to quote:

Interesting conversion of a combo head. I particularly like the apparently redundant addition of the UV lamp grill underneath the stainless steel front panel. I wonder what the cable ties are securing on the rear panel?

Agreed it's a good price. Not sure what fixing up is either necessary or possible though? Other than a missing EQ slider tip it all looks fine. Depending upon the fixing centers, it could be a candidate to ditch the heavy wooden sleeve and mount in a lightweight ABS 19" case?
