Dear all,
Just seeing if anyone has experience with klassickeysgb? If so, anything to report?
Pt 2: what is a reasonable price for a MkII 73 (82) suitcase in good working, fully serviced order?
No absolute answer I understand but I'd be grateful for any thoughts.
Many thanks,
Alex

Not dealt with these guys, but, I’d say a "reasonable" price for one of those would be £2,000/£2,500 in good condition. I’ve looked at their website, some of the prices seem OK, some are a bit high IMO.
As usual, buying from a dealer is supposed to give you a bit of peace of mind, warranty etc, so you’re going to be paying for that as well. Less risk than buying from a private seller, and worth the extra money too.

Ha! Sold my 88 for $200. Though I think it was $50 more than I paid for it...

"The Best" piece of gear is subjective.

That's exactly what I got for mine, the guy came up to Lincolnshire via train from London to view it, and told me mine was in the best condition he'd seen.
I delivered it to him in the back of a transit van the next time the band went down to London to visit the big music shops

Re: Rhodes purchase
I have bought gear from Klassic Keys. The chap who runs it is called Dougie and lives a couple of miles up the road from me in Leicestershire. Sadly I didn’t but a Wurly from him but he did let me have a play on a few he was working on. He had various Rhodes too which he also spoke passionately about. He knows the gear inside out and when I am ready to buy a Wurly, I won’t go anywhere else.
For those who are old an crusty like me, he used to run a music shop in the Cheshire area (Northwich/Nantwich??) called Dougie’s Music.
