Description
Still Sealed Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs MFQR 1-510. This album was purchased about 30 years ago and is in the same Like New condition as when I bought it. Unknown Limited Edition number out of 5000 produced because it has never been opened.
Please examine the photos carefully for exact condition. Understand that it is difficult to take "studio quality" photos due to the cellophane reflections, but I have tried my best. I can see no tears in the original plastic covering of any kind. There is one approximately 1 inch seam split on the upper back bottom seam - see photos. Not at all bad - I almost missed it. This type of harder plastic covering does "fade" just a little and may have the tiniest of nicks in it. The plastic does show what I would describe as slight "rub marks", but nothing that shows abuse or takes away from the Still Sealed beauty. The bottom line is that the hard plastic covering is not "Perfect", but is in beautiful condition.
Please contact me prior to bidding if you need additional information or photos. If you wish to examine the album in person in Naples, Florida, then I will be happy to show it to you. If you need a "Perfect" album (which I have never seen) then please do not bid. I do not believe you will find a better overall example. I have sold on ebay for over 10 years with overwhelming positive feedback, but recently was burned by 2 dealers who left untrue feedback even after I gave them a full refund for their fictional complaints because I would not further compensate them in violation of ebay policy. Research showed these 2 dealers routinely buy inexpensive items from others and then burn them in the ratings.
I am including Free USPS Priority Mail Shipping with Insurance on this album. If you have a shipping issue it will have to be addressed through USPS.
There are no returns allowed on this album. Again, please contact me for any additional information you need. If you are a normal and reasonable buyer then you will be completely satisfied with my album.
I have an opened copy of this album and can honestly say that on an audiophile system it will blow you away. As great as the MFSL half-speeds are, even they are put to shame by the UHQR.
See my other Auctions for additional MFSL UHQRs and Albums! Thanks for bidding and have a great day ebaying!
