Slawie,
I don't mind, but I really don't understand the question you are asking.
I know that Daryl had this one for many years and I would pester him periodically for it. He said he wasn't ready to part with it. He eventually put me on to someone he knew that had one. So I got in touch with him and we struck a deal. It was kind of a strange situation because the person I bought it from kept calling it a pre-amp. If I remember right, he told me that it may need repair because he could not get it to work. I guess if he was trying to use it as a pre-amp, then it was busted! I bought it for an odd price, I think it was like $130.00 or something.
Is that what you are asking? If not let me know!
Fast forward a few years and my IN-2 sat in flood water for a couple of weeks. It was in a rack in a studio in the deepest part of the Katrina flood in New Orleans. Once the national guard let me back in the neighborhood, my nephew and I broke the door down just so I could go in and get the IN-2!!! Also in my rack was one of the first Alembic pre-amps made. It's an F2, the predecessor to the F2-B. I hosed the salt water out of the IN-2 and the F2 and both still work perfectly today.
Both VERY sturdy pieces of gear.
