Been on the lookout for a while for one of these or the 15R (the model from the year before i believe).
Big thanks goes out to Terry for spotting the ad on gumtree and to Shane Higgins for packing and sending to me as the seller wouldn't post.
It went from Perth (the very west of australia) to Brisbane (the very east). $50 for the system and $85 for the postage...but well worth it to me. The guy was about to take it to the tip too!!!

Came with the remote, and operation manual. It had a bit of a knock on the top of it but i mostly sorted that out now. LCD tuner light i need to replace as you can see...and the tape deck doesn't work. But apart from that it's mickey mouse. Oh the speaker surrounds were shot of course...but my local speaker repair guy had the square surrounds which were close as it gets to straight up fitting. I just needed to trim the outer edges down a fraction. Got the replacement surrounds as part of a repair kit that had instructions, adhesive and even a brush for application of the glue. Could not believe my luck. Put the new surrounds on the same night and waited until the next day for the glue to cure before cranking her up.

Well what can i say... the sound out of this small (but 14kg) unit blows me away! :thumbsup:
The bass is ridiculous even without the AMFB (accurate motional feedback) button on.

Some photos below....i'm a sucker for cool lights and sprectrum analyzers. :yes:

Awesome! I messaged the seller as well and though he was a bit of a d*&#

Glad it went to a good home!

We're so lucky to have those square foam surrounds being made right here in Aus!

No the seller is not a dh
It's just that we are so work orientated over here it's hard to get time off work
It took me 8 weeks to send it I finally booked aday of work to send it
The seller delivered it to my house and with out getting money from Scott first
So I say he was a pretty good bloke
He just had no time to send it like me
And I should have turned it on but no time

Ah ok, I offered to have it picked up, but he wanted the courier to pay him cash on the spot. I offered all other types of payment and he wouldn't do it. Thought he was a bit unreasonable.

Maybe I got the wrong impression though.

Glad someone else on here got it anyway.

Rick the seller was good to deal with for me...i'm very grateful to have got it considering he was patient enough to wait until shane got home from holidays as he could have maybe sold it 5 times over in that time.
