Looking for a 4001 in the UK

Post by lucidsounds »

As subject, I'm in the UK and looking to buy a 4001, preferably 1974 or earlier. I see quite a few 'over the pond' but the import duties make the total cost unreasonable.

Many thanks for the bandwidth,


Lucid.

Hi, Yes thanks, but they are dealers with somewhat high prices. I was hopefully looking for a private trade if anyone knows of any.

I started looking for a 74 ish Jetglo, but I noticed they didn't have certain features, Toasters, check binding and full width inlays. So I start looking 73 and find some, the inlays are full width but not crushed pearl, so I find a 72 and this has all the features, so I go for it, I did have to pay, but I feel it's worth it as it's actually got more features than I bargained for, flat Grover's not wavy, no skunk stripe and Walnut wings. A lot happened from 72-74.

Arggh! Stop it! Stop it! :lol: I was telling myself before, having now obtained my Azure, the only Ric I'd consider in future (short of winning the lottery) is a '72 Jetglo.....
