Included is the original, hard to find single rack kit, for easy and neat rack installation.As with all the AMS, dbx, UREI, and other gear we sell, the unit has been fully restored, serviced, and calibrated in our shop by expert technicians who have worked on UREI gear for over 20 years, and know these pieces inside out.  All the electrolytic capacitors have all been replaced and the units have been fully calibrated and tested.  This item is 100% guaranteed to work as described.It is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition.  The front panel, knobs, panel parts, and meter all look very good.  The circuit boards and electronics are clean and tight.  We’re including a pairs of custom XLR adapter cables, an AC cord, and a professionally made copy of the manual. The VU meter is new, with the older UA logo.<i>Whether or not you ever purchase from us, you should know that 99% of the gear described on ebay as “working perfectly” or “in excellent condition” is not.  Buyer beware!  A unit may pass signal, the lights may work, and the meters may do what they’re expected to, but in almost every case there will be at least one or two problems with distortion, frequency response, or other functions.  Unless the seller is a full service shop that knows these units, or has taken it to one and can show documentation, claims of perfect operating condition are almost always wishful thinking.  We see evidence of these unsubstantiated claims every week when clients bring in "perfect" gear they've bought on ebay, and when we buy for resale.  It’s unfortunate, but Ebay sellers constantly make unsubstantiated claims about the condition of pro audio gear.</i>At Studio Electronics we do things differently...1. Reburb and testing: every UREI item that we sell has been been thoroughly serviced and tested.  Any marginal components are replaced.  The VU lamps are replaced.  The power supplies are throughly serviced and checked.  The unit is thoroughly tested and then run for one week.2. Marginal parts: Since we refurb so many UREI products, we know what to look for.  If a switch is bent or noisy or if pot is faulty, we replace it.  If a meter doesn’t have the right ballistics, we repair it or replace it.  If a fastener is missing from the top or bottom cover, we replace it.3. Function and specs test: most UREI sellers on ebay don’t own a manual, and may not even know how to operate these units.  Before listing this item on ebay we checked signal/noise ratio, frequency response, attack and decay time, and more.  Most sellers don’t have the knowledge or the equipment to properly check these functions.4. Support: if something goes wrong, we’ll get you taken care of quickly.  Our shop stocks hundreds of UREI parts; nearly every single part in these units.  Next week or next year, if there’s a problem, call us.  We’ll be glad to help you out, and will do so quickly.Here’s your chance to own a truly legendary, great sounding limiter/compressor that will increase in value while you enjoy using it.Winning bidder will pay $25 shipping/handling for Fedex ground with full insurance coverage within the US, $45 to Canada.
