Buying Used

Postby DJ Plan A » Thu Jan 20, 2011 6:21 am

I am considering buying a used C84 unit built into the chassis etc. from a local music store here in Ottawa. The price seems pretty good compared to new ($500 all together) but I have no previous experience with these units other than ready numerous positive reviews.

I am hoping someone can recommend me some diagnostics to help make sure I don't end up with a poorly assembled or malfunctioning unit. Any advice is appreciated.

Many thanks,
J

If you don't feel qualified to open the chassis and inspect the assembly, the store should be willing to refer you to a local tech who can. Check the C84 assembly instructions for details on basic functional testing. You'll need a decent DVM at least.
