I am looking at possibly acquiring a piece of gear in Chicago area. I am wondering if there might be someone that could pick up said item and hold it for me/possibly look at it and let me know if worth purchasing.
The item is a Carver PM-1200 amp that needs some work as one of the channels is giving out static per the ad and I will hopefully have some bigger pics shortly, but I might need someone to look at it for me as I am not sure if I can get up there tomorrow or not, otherwise it might be next weekend and by then it could be gone.
Anyway PM me if you could possibly help me out. I am trying to nail down whereabouts in Chicago the seller is to help.

Yeah, but it needs work so I am not sure. Would have to send to Rita or Rolland...... thinking I might offer something like 50 bucks just for the hell of itToo far for me, would help ya out if he was closer.
Incidentally, why are you looking at a carver that needs work anyway ?I tell ya Tony, if I Dan's MASSIVE amounts of cash reserves, I would definitely buy that for the bathroom system if nothing else.:cheesygrin:
Pep you nailed it on the head :biggrin:.... thinking for this price (or lower like I want) I can get it now, get it refurbed at Rita's or Rollands and then use it in my system upstairs for a bit, and then later on for a VMPS sub or two
....... or flip it possibly.....
What can I say until I get my bonus in about a month I am on the super cheap gear search lol...... and I like Carver stuff....Pro amp?
You going to have it converted to rca inputs or use 1/4"?
I probably wouldn't have it converted so I would use RCA to balanced or RCA to TRS cables.... not sure which for now.
Here go some pics.....
