At Vintage Note, we do not consider ourselves as an Antique stockist or a pawn shop…
Among our pick list, we do not select used units that lost their sound qualities, or have evidence of a hard life (broken buttons, big hits on the cabinets…).
Each piece we present is thoroughly cleaned and tested, the in/outs, selectors and commands are deoxydized when needed, and all bit that may have been touched by a finger is sanitized (sounds a good idea when it's 30 years of somebody else finger…).
Sometimes we have the unit history or visual evidence that a restoration or change of component has been handled. This can be capacitors for an amp, or a paint job on a cabinet, or a driver update in a loudspeaker. All this will be stated in the description; you will know as much as we know.
