Walt, I might be interested in doing a deal if we can as I shall explain below.....Walt's a friend, and the information above is accurate, you won't have any problems in transacting with him.

Morning all, ( it's 715am Uk time here )
I've been an inactive member for 7 years. Just paid premium so I can chat away. I bought a house with a bonkers expensing Crestron Home Automation system and inherited at the same time a Kaleidescape players and 3 U, K Vault and 1 U server with several players too.
Both the 3U and 1U are grandfathered. I've replaced a couple of the drives in the 3U but it looks like it won't power on now.
The incredibly helpful Rusty, senior K Scape technical engineer pointed me to this forum. So thanks for that Rusty.
He said either there has either been a catastrophic disk failure as it went into quarantine, or there is a power up problem, in which case he said I should try and get a used 3U chassis.
Thin from a risk perspective, probably better to trade up.
Give. I am a total novice would the forum be able to answers a few questions for me please
1) is it worth effort cost and pain of trying to fix 3 U server? It's got 1200 movies on it. Circa 10TB used with some 20TB of free space.
2) does the grandfathered 1U server have any value. I will try and find the storage capacity of it if that makes a big difference.
3) how painful is it to transfer 10TB or movies from 3U to say Walt 48 Terra? The movies are on disks in a 3U chassis that won't power up. Is that a problem?
4) I've got some spare K or M players upstairs, are they worth anything?
5) any idea what my idiot government will charge to land Walt's server here in the UK. I believe you have to pay VAT on the entire costs which includes the duty and shipping. Talk about double taxation
Sorry for the long post, but I am a total novice. I nearly bought a new to me system off a AV company in Scotland until Rusty said that system only stores movies downloaded from Kscape store.
Big shout out to Rusty!!!
