For sale: Mo' Phatt rack module in excellent condition. Includes Phatt ROM, rack ears, and IEC power cord. Everything works as it should. Installed a brand-new encoder to ensure this unit functions flawlessly well into the future. Updated to the latest OS (2.26). The rack ears on this one were fairly heavily bent out of shape. We were able to reshape, sand, and paint so they are fully functional and acceptable from a cosmetic perspective, but they are not perfect. That said, you're not likely to care once racked.
Please examine all photos carefully, as we've done our best to document the condition with the photos.
