DNA Stratus...again

I'm really surprised this hasn't sold yet. On HF I got mostly low balls so here we go again.

Stratus + full Sylvania set and some extra input tubes 2K GBP + shipping of your choice.
I'll send 3 sylvania s plates since I have a spare and won't need it.

I'll also sell the EML solid plate at 150 with or without the Stratus.

@atomicbob has first pick.

Thank you

Edit:
EML sold
EditEdit:
Stratus sold.

 

Shocking, should be long gone...

 

PM'd about the EMLs

 

Damn, that price. If I was in the UK I would be all over this.

 

EML sold

 

You know... if the stratus was black, I could probably sneak it in the house and swap it into my gear and my wife would be none the wiser.

That blue? I wouldn't last 15 minutes before she'd start grilling me about it...

 

"honey it's vintage I couldn't afford NOT to buy it"

 

It's a matter of time buy I understand the frustration. It's a bit out of my budget otherwise I would consider it.

Someone with deeper pockets shouldn't waste the opportunity.

 

When I owned the Sonett 2 and had people over at my house I would sometimes catch people staring at it. Was amusing to me watching them try and comprehend what this big beautiful blue box was supposed to do and why it was sitting there.

 

How easy/difficult is it to change voltage?

 

Ping the man himself, @Donald North. He is converting a Sonett 2 for me

 

I assume anyone from the US will send the Stratus in for the latest upgrade anyway so you can do the voltage conversion with it. Shipping to the US is 100-150GBP

 

Sale is on hold. I'm going to upgrade the Stratus and put it back on sale with stock tubes. Direct delivery from Donald might be an option.

 

Must... resist...

 

For me, it is easy. I simply cannot afford this

Though I can take out a loan.....hhmm.....

Must....resist.....

 

I wonder what Donald's turn time will be on the upgrade/voltage change (if necessary). Have you hard anything yet @m17xr2b ?

 

Upgrade/voltage change should take that long but I'll have to wait for my slot. Once I get a confirmation I'll let you guys know.
Anyone who wants to take it now is welcomed if you want to handle the upgrade yourself. Same price and free UPS shipping...since I would have to ship it to the US anyway.

 

What does the upgrade exactly uphold? Not talking about the voltage changes.

 

Quote from Donald:
Yes, from the knowledge learned during the development of the Stellaris, I revisited the Stratus with these new materials and techniques which noticeably elevates its performance. The upgrade includes changing the bypass caps on the 6N1P and 2A3s, changing the 2A3 tube sockets, changing the grounding of the balanced outputs, changing the first power supply resistor and capacitor on the 5U4G, and changing the D.C. heater for the 6N1P. This would bring it to current spec and as you can see it is comprehensive.

P.S.
SOLD and going to the US.
