[QuadList] VR-1100 on eBay

[Bill Seery]

My theory based on looking at the seller's (truebeautydisco) previous sales history (mainly low priced cosmetics and clothing) is that someone said to someone else: "Either that sh*t goes or you do."

The other party, not keen on parting with said items, has listed them at a price no one in their right mind would pay. 

Just a theory.

That means it is either linelock only or could have the accessory board for the 1100 servo that gives you V-Lock.  Most 1100's had a procamp and Amtec.  Even if it has a head, it's likely ball bearing and will have the trimpot module if it's a Mark 10. Could even be a Mark 3.  Best thing I could say about it is that most 1100's I've seen had very low hours, so the transports are a good source for parts for 1200's and 2000's.  However, bottom line, very little value here.
