Needs new switches and God knows what else. Does the transformer have a 240v tap? I ask as you have one albeit invisible in your previous thread entry. I feel that this is a little pricey. I would expect to pay around that ball-park for a new one from the factory. It's way out of my price range at the moment It's ironic how one pops up but I am in now way capable of funding it. slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 773 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Sunday, April 19, 2015 - 11:55 pm:    Silly double post thingy!

The IN-2 is the unit above the SF-2 in the my rack. Slawie , In the two IN-2 's that I have seen internally there is not access to a power transformer unlike a DS-5/R unit because the electronics for the power secction in both my IN-2 units are encapsulate regulated power supplies. Therefore it is not posible to modify the input voltage tap on the encapsulated power supply unit. The pricing for the unit on ebay is not reasonable BECAUSE of the external physical condition of that unit in my opinion. slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 774 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Monday, April 20, 2015 - 6:31 am:    Thanks mate I thought as much just by the look of it. Way too much work to do to it including the power supply module replacement plus switches and anything else that would be NFG (non-functioning goods) Oh I wish Alembic would get a pre-production prototype together for me to Beta test ;) I live in hope! Thanks for your evaluation slawie (Message edited by Slawie on April 20, 2015) edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 1999 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, April 20, 2015 - 7:57 am:    I wonder if this was some kind of prototype, has a replacement faceplate, or just lost the finish. Weird. I'd pay about $250 for it. elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 1652 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, July 11, 2015 - 5:13 pm:    I see it sold for 599, Did anyone here pick it up? slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 808 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 12, 2015 - 5:01 am:    I was watching that one only as it is 110v not good for me. In Oz dollars it went for $808.96 I did not pick it up the thing looks pretty sad I am also wondering if someone here snagged it. Maybe you Wolf. You seem to have cornered the World IN-2 market ;) BTW Wolf I will be in the Bay Area after the 21st of July Lunch and a shoe? slawie sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 4333 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Sunday, July 12, 2015 - 8:41 am:    Slawie , I did not grab this IN-2 . Lunch was indeed mentioned . That would be Kool while you are in the area !

Bill, tgo slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 809 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 12, 2015 - 3:29 pm:    Mini gathering would be great! Count me in. Being an "outsider" watching all the gathering posts makes me green with envy. I am bringing in my Series for some TLC from Ron. I have made a mess of the sound from my jiggery-pokery trying to get the bass to sound as it should after a replacement of Q switch on the bass signal. Trying to get a hold of the factory for some logistics information regarding getting my bass back to me post its hospitalization. I will send you guys an email off of this forum. slawie funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 986 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Sunday, July 12, 2015 - 7:38 pm:    Are new IN-2 boxes still in the works? charles_holmes Senior Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 412 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 - 4:19 pm:    My question is, what do you all use the IN-2 for? sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 4345 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 - 4:56 pm:    Here is the description from Alembic Inc. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 4346 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 - 6:41 pm:    Here is the description from Alembic Inc.
