I just purchased a brand new Equi=Core 1800 from Paul (Mark's Grandson) and everything went well with the transaction. I sent PayPal payment on 8/1/18 and he shipped the same day and sent me a tracking number. He said that his Grandma (Mark's wife) had just finished building and boxing the unit the day before.. I received it on Monday and it was brand new and perfect as stated. It's in my system right now breaking in and sounds amazing. I was skeptical pulling the trigger on this purchase after reading all the recent posts regarding the issues people are having with Mark and CPT. I was also concerned about buying a product from a company that is currently in limbo and may or may not be in business in the future to support the product should I ever have a problem with it. Before I sent payment I called Paul and we discussed my concerns which helped me relax a little bit but I was still very nervous when I hit that send payment button on the PayPal site. The price was really good and he included a free Super Stroke power cord which I think was normally a $99 upgrade with the purchase of an 1800. I feel for all the people who prepaid for Deep Core units and never received the product or a refund. Hopefully the sale of CPT will go through and the new owners will honor these previous commitments to everyone's satisfaction.
