We have a 688 that is not being used..........my son had it but moved to PC recording a few years ago. Obviously, I'll have to clear things with my son but feel free to PM me. Probably should add that it's in Newcastle but I should be able to pack it securely for shipping.

I'v got a 244 with new belts, but it's on loan to a client and I'll have to verify everything is in order. But totally hit me up with an offer. If the boss can make it sound good, surely everyone can right?

Sorry to be slightly off topic, but does anyone know a good place to get replacement belts for a Ta@#$% 488?

Have you looked through the WES catalogue,I've been able to find pretty well every belt I've ever needed there.
