I have an MK2A for sale. Bought of Ebay years ago (6-8), looked (and still looks) like new in box. Doesn't appear to have ever been installed. Comes with everything in original box: CD, instruction book, wiring harness, sled with wiring harness, remote, AC adapter, etc.

Intended to install this in my car but never did, and now never will. I don't know much about these units except what I've read on this forum; the Empeg sounded like a great music delivery system but it's been sitting on the shelf collecting dust for too long.

Okay, now about the missing/bad hard drive. When I powered the unit on (with the AC adapter) just now I received the message: No Hard Disk Found Contact Support. Weil, it says on the box it has a 20GB hard drive installed (from factory). I can only assume the hard disk has failed even though it has never been used (by me).

So what's it worth? I dunno. Guess I'll start with an asking price of $125 and go from there. Photos below.

As I don't check into this forum frequently, best to email me at steamed5473 AT gmail DOT com. Oh ya, my location is Denver, CO metro area and I am willing to ship this unit. More photos upon request, since I'm limited to 3 here.

The lubricant for the hard drive has probably just gummed up from lack of use, so the drive is not spinning up. Not really an issue -- anyone getting this should probably also put in a PATA SSD (eBay) as a replacement. Or a CompactFlash card or two.
