We have for sale a Voodoo-LABS Modified - HHB Radius-20 Tube Parametric EQ.
The Modifications can be seen here:

This unit has a brand new set of NOS RCA Command 5751's in it. They have already had a 180hour burn in.
Say it isn't so! Why are we selling this fine piece of Tubage Equipment?
Well, we have actually acquired & modified another EQ, the HHB Classic 70 which makes the Radius-20 superfluous to our needs.
There is a slight snag to this tremendous offer which is actually a terrific opportunity for some lucky buyer out there.
We were cleaning up the Radius-20 to get it ready for sale when to our dismay we ran into a problem.
This problem was actually self inflicted. We thought we were real smart by putting some little slivers of colored electrical tape as markers
for different mirophones onto the front face of the Radius-20. Well, it worked, and for the many years they were on there, but the glue has
etched into the finish. How do we know this, because every method known to man was tried to remove it, and thinking it was a glue residue,
resulted in extreme removal methods which we wish were NEVER tried.
All the tape residue was removed, but what remains now are slight blemishes resulting from the etched surface. This can be seen in reflected
light. There are places that we've damaged the finish because of the extreme trial methods that were used to remove the residue (etching),
and believe us when we say WE'RE SICK over this.
Well....our misfortune is your gain. We're having a real problem of wanting to sell it now because of the cosmetic damage that was caused.
That being the case, we're going to offer you a hell of a deal.
Asking price is $750.00 shipped via FedEx to Continental US only.
International buyers will have to pay shipping via United States Postal Service International Priority Mail only.
The EQ comes with the original Box, Packaging, Manual, and power chord.
There is a 7 day Money Back Guarantee less return shipping, as well as a 6 month repair Warranty.

A word about Analog EQ's vs Digital:
Analog is allot different then Digital in many ways, one of which Analog sounds so much smoother and clean.
Another is that it is just that, Analog and it's not as precise as Digital, especially with the Frequency controls. Whats silk screened on the front
panel usually does not coincide to the actual frequency, so you need to use a spectral analysis program like SpectraPlus as an aid to see 'SEE'
the frequency for some user feedback until your ears are trained.
This is done by turning the GAIN all the way up (or down), the Bandwidth (Q) all the way narrow (full CCW), and watching the peak (valley) to
determine the actual frequency setting. The low frequencies are usually pretty much on, but as you climb in frequency is where they tend to deviate.
I have noticed this anomaly on all the analog Para's so far.
Thanks!!
Take Care,
