You've got to be careful though, a lot of so-called Tensai products are actually Chinese copies...

I'm going to start a business copying the Chinese copies. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

To give your copies creditability, make sure they fail within 18 months. In my experience that is the MTBF for most Chinese craptronics.Originally Posted by Macca

I used to lust over Amstrad gear in the Argos catalogue as a kid...the naivety of childhood!

Amstrad systems are buried treasure, literally. Landfill sites are full of them.

When I'm feeling pervy and browsing through ads for used turntables on a certain auction site I have to slog my way through 500 entries for every conceivable variation of replacement belt for Technics models. Not to mention the feet and hinges that also sneak in. Never a decent lid though - that would be something!

If you're referring to ebay and looking at used gear, change the search criteria accordingly, it cuts out a lot of dross. Also, start with items priced highest, there are usually not that many expensive bits to get through before the sensibly priced items come on-screen.
