Wanted: Alembic F-2B preamp

lol, sorry you guys are quicker off the ball than I am.  I've been a bit distracted today with job hunting and chasing agents since being made redundant (again) a couple of weeks ago.
 
Charlie - Has the unit been serviced in the last few years?  If not, can you tell me whether the filter caps are in good condition and whether the power transformer shows any signs of corrosion?

Kiwi- The unit has not been serviced since I have owned it. I will check the filter caps and the power transformer. I have been trying to figure out how to reduce the pictures (jpeg) so I can upload them to show you the condition of the F2B
It is really a pain in the foot! I will open up the unit tonight when I get home from work.

Yay! finally! Kenny has done some amazing work for me. If I ever figure out how to make my photos Jpeg, I'll show you how he customized my Scheckter to my design. I'll tell you this though, Kenny put a 5pin jack on my scheckter so I can use that along with the Alembic, in addition, I had him put in another Music Man pickup @ the neck to bookend the other pickup @ the bridge.And he split my pickups so that it is also a stereo bass and it sounds awesome...a slap-n-popers delight!But there is still nothing like my Alembic!
Peace-n-out!

Chalie;
 
How big in inches is one of your pictures?
 
How big in KBs is the same picture?
 
What photo-editing programs do you have on your computer?

well..won that F2B on eBay but the original red knobs are long gone. Any chance of getting a set?
Does the mothership still have any NOS ?
