There´s a sucker born every minute - and too many of them end up in the bootweak pedal biz.

That's a really cool find, not necessarily that insane price, but that he includes gut shots of what a crappy wiring job it was, and that pot looks so funny! I've never seen one like that before... were all the really old pots like that?

Back of pot says 'carbon' ...
I'll buck the trend here and say that is a serious collectors item and will sell at that price. That's the cleanest and most perfect example of an original RM I've seen. The insides look new. I don't consider the wiring to be "crappy", it's almost ptp and is quite tidy by the standards of the day. Given the original box and (sort-of) accompanying leaflet etc it will sell. Insane price, but that's the market.

I've gotta concur with Torchy's assesment of the pedal listed. The interior of the thing looks "medically sanitized".
That is, it meets the real meaning of "dead mint". As in it looks like it could've rolled out the factory yesterday
To some collectors that price is meerly a group of numbers that are the final link in order to fulfill
the buyer's fetish/desire for an alleged Holy Grail tone generator.
Am I envious much? Maybe a little to be so frivolous with respect to pocket money.
But I know deep in my jaundiced soul that there are no "Grail" FX, or axes, or amps per se. With all the FX
circuits that have been unveiled at this site, it should be obvious to anyone that none of them were their instant
link to a major label deal or throngs of adoring pre-teens foisting their damp cotton undergarments into your pocket
just to hear your Number #1 hit, with a bullet. [...With a bullet...Pow!]
So which Rangemaster came first? This style with the white cable & OC71. Or the black cable ones with an OC44?
I'm going to agree with the seller, Marc Bolan's guitar sounded so freakin' tough during the 20th Century Boy, Slider
period. But he wrote better songs during the first "acoustic" albums.
I love the wee little Rangemaster I built with a CV 7003 and a .0068uf input cap. It makes me play alot longer when
I can crank my amps and display the sweet interaction of this barebones stomperoo.
