I purchased a one-owner VRDS-10 last year for £230 which was mint complete with box, manual but there was no remote. I did manage to find an original Teac remote for £10.
The best bit is that this player had been fully modified by Audiocom with every upgrade option available installed. That's a good portion of money there alone.
This is definitely not your run of the mill VRDS-10.
It's been a really great player so far, I love the build quality and am really pleased with my purchase seeing as I was used to far more expense kit before (before my accident which has left me unable to work and able to afford the luxuries of life).
...the only thing I have yet to get round to doing on my unit is changing the power lead. I want to totally remove the original one and put in a good quality IEC socket so it gives me the chance to mess around with different power cables.
