Subject:Re:What is "b stock"?

I have once bought a kurzweil k2600xs B stock the box was opened before
and the foil was from the display. the sounds were installed, all
adjustments were done. It was okey no scratch what so ever.

the othere time a saw a b stock at a shop and also the sales man didn't
want to hold it.. the knobs were all damaged.... I asked if he was
planning to sell it he said he must do so....

so you have to be carefully !!
