This is an all original mid 60's original unit that has been converted to a normal PP3 type battery aeons ago. Unfortunately within a few months of the original Rangemaster's release the battery it was designed for (Vidor VD-4) became obsolete so all of these have had this conversion done otherwise you would never be able to use them.This one I think is the finest one available on the planet right now and is in mint condition aside from a small area of zinc plating corrosion on the chassis and a minute amount of discolouration along the edge. I have photographed all of this so take a look, if you cannot see it, that doesn't surprise me as I am just mentioning this for completeness.Even guarantee card is excellent but does have a couple of stains on it. No rips or tears though.Original germanium transistor (OC-71) and 20k pot that is said to give it more crunch than the 10k you occasionally see.How does it sound? I took it to my tech and we plugged it in and yes, it is quite something. controlled crunch with buckets of clarity and we were immediately impressed with this un-assuming unit, in fact quite gob smacked by how good it does actually still sounds in 2017, 50+ years after it came out.As you are probably aware these were used by and favoured by the likes of Eric Clapton o the ‘Beano’ album, Tony Iommi, Mark Bolan, Brian May and Rory Gallagher.1p start and No Reserve - this could be a fantastic eBay bargain, just like you used to see on eBay :-)Please have a good look at the 20+ high resolution photos I have posted to fully appreciate the AMAZING condition this great unit is inWinning buyer MUST make contact with me within 24 hours and let me know payment schedule and method or item may be re-listed.
