Boot Sale HiFi 2017

[Macca]

If it is any good it will never make it to recycle or land fill. Worst case someone who works at the tip will have it. Used to have a mate who worked at the tip. Used to get all sorts of stuff. Quite a lot of records, he gave me a couple of AC DC albums. He also got a Marshall amp, little practice one. Working fine and cosmetically mint. Just incredible that someone would skip it. And this is one of the poorest areas in England.

Yup, it's a sad reflection on today's 'disposable society'!

i was not long ago having a discussion with my father he was a regular at out local tip for many years - HI-FI and records related and the stuff he used to pick up was incredible One occasion was a Leak TL12+ in original box and a HH Scott amplifier & Celestion 66's Sansui G 22000 my mum picked this with me one morning when we went to drop of house hold items they also found a whole host of other gems a Garrard 401 also that was buried in a plinth with leaves and twigs we did nothing with it but bin it if only we restored it all now long gone because the law legislation changed he missed a pair of Tannoy IIILZ's after this was brought in and they ended up on ebay from one of the workers. the good old days are going lads nothing like it used to be which is very very sad used to be something for everyone now everyone is after the same thing you would be amazed..

Since an A820 is attached to it's trolley and cannot be separated easily that would be a huge flightcase weighing in at around 130 kilos.

The machine alone weighs 98 kilos.
