I particularly like the sideways after-market rack mount arrangement 
that has left the controls on the side of the chassis BEHIND the front 
panel.  I'm sure the starting auction price is justified by the 
creativity of the thought process that came up with this idea.  The 
phrase: "Unit works well but the VU meter isn't always accurate" is 
appealing.  Is the VU meter accurate some of the time; perhaps during 
split second intervals on upswings and downswings?  Just what defines 
accuracy for a VU meter in this application anyway, since the original 
monitoring device was a 6E5 "eye" tube that was used to indicate 
"Compression" in a heuristic sort of way?  Maybe the meter is measuring 
the amount of "tube sheen" that the system is delivering - I think "tube 
sheen" is measured in VU units...
