New, this model is currently around £135–£139, while comparable used asking prices have a £159 median and a £73 lower quartile. At £68, it sits below that 25th-percentile mark, making it a genuine bargain if complete and working rather than merely a fair buy.
The appeal is practical rather than audiophile exotica: eight independently controlled stereo channels, front and rear outputs, two main inputs, per-channel direct inputs, stereo/mono switching and useful level displays. It is a sturdy 1U rack unit, well suited to shared listening, rehearsal, recording or a multi-headphone setup. Check that every channel is quiet, both sockets work, the switches are clean and the power supply is included; otherwise, at this price, it is an easy recommendation.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
