I do think it was a genuine mistake - it was a poorly presented listing from someone not really knowing what they were doing. We did agree to not go ahead with the sale without any attempt by them to force me to buy.

The orange is half the appeal ("half the peel", for a lame pun)!Originally Posted by mikmas
I had 2/3 of this Uher minikit in the 80s when they came out ... used them with an equally dinky Uher portable cassette deck.
First thing I did was to cut some replacement black faceplates to get rid of the fiendish orange

used the tuner uptil about 10 years ago when the display packed in.... quite tempted to buy it for the LOLs

Thought it looked familiar! It's the same as an Aiwa 22 system, normally in silver but here an example in blue:I had 2/3 of this Uher minikit in the 80s when they came out ... used them with an equally dinky Uher portable cassette deck.

No Bev, not good...... F*#<ing stunning. One of the best small, "modern" Tannoys. When I ran and used the world famous Tin Pan Alley Studios, these were the main monitors in Studio 1, in two years I recorded and mixed 7 indie charting albums on a pair of those. My buddy Steve who worked with me at the time, still has a pair in the control room at Liscome Park studios as a "real world speaker". You may have guessed I love them.
