They're hard to come by in this part of the world, but I've seen a good second-hand one and I'm wondering about its use. What is it like? Does it have a break-out box or is it for a rack? What about accessibility of control panel etc? The seller is selling on behalf of someone else and has not used it. As I say, it's not something people in NZ are particularly familiar with it unless they're really keen as there's no distributor here. any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Cheers Kylee
