FS- Croft pre amp

[Vinyl turner]

Thanks Jimbo,
Apologies all - no intention at deception !
Looking back I did post an original 'Hello' as well as a couple of follow up posts, but they were a few years back.

I should go back to that post and give the update as to where things are now.

My ST20 came with a crummy Varislope that out of loyalty I felt I should try and use. Glenn fettled that sufficiently to have it working with the power amp, but he gave me a huge warning .... That it was basically rubbish: And he was right, that unit is now in the loft in a box, I used it for a short while then bought ............ STOP - I'll tell that story elsewhere as it has little to do with this thread.

PS - I note something on ebay for £175, which is clearly a Croft box, but I have no idea what it is, if it's any good as a starting point to mod ?
The seller is in Norwich/Norfolk and it marked as collection only - so a long way to go if it's a 'crock'.

I now use the Croft pre amp and it's been VERY heavily modded. There should be a thread somewhere on the forum detailing the mods.

Continuing my search for a Croft pre-amp (in no great hurry but miffed that I seem to have missed so many in the last 6 months) - does anybody know the owner of this one advertised on Gumtree?

It is about 3x what I had in mind paying, but ............ !

Does seem a bit steep but if it's got a separate PSU box (from Glenn) then it won't have been cheap.

Possibly sold, but I think Gumtree have time limits on ads so it might reappear

Yes, I looked earlier yesterday evening and it was still up - but later it had dropped off. He may have sold it.
