Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Here's the one my cousin had https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-S...AAAOSwW8FbDvGp
He also added some Wharfedales, Lintons I think it was and ran them additionally with the originals.
As I say, certainly sounded musical as heck to my ears - loved it ! and brings back good memories

That's a lovely thing, Andrew, and would have been pretty expensive in its day. I'd imagine it will sound decent, the T/T in particular, if the cartridge isn't shagged, although the weak points in these things were notoriously the amplification and speakers.
Good fun, though!
So what's with buying all this quality vintage gear - are you setting up as a dealer?

Hi Marco , I hadn’t thought of myself as a dealer , just having fun with it but if that’s a hint ? I just don’t sell enough to be a dealer I don’t think.That's a lovely thing, Andrew, and would have been pretty expensive in its day. I'd imagine it will sound decent, the T/T in particular, if the cartridge isn't shagged, although the weak points in these things were notoriously the amplification and speakers.
