A couple of notes about this unit. The two concentric knobs are just for the classic look, but do not perform separate functions. The concentric knobs also have a few small blemishes, but otherwise the unit is like new with only a couple hours of use. Includes power cable. Final cost of the build was a little over $1,400.00 CAD.
