Did you try Classique Sounds Andy?

He knows his onions with the 57's and has a selection for sale.

Yep tried him and he just flogged a bloody pair :steam: Will keep looking but it means I cant listen to that wonderful slab of Radford sitting on my bedroom floor. Cheers dude!

Sorry mate:) not for sale.
These are now fabulous after The "One thing" full rebuild and the legs I had made.
Don't know how they have managed to stay in such good condition, the grilles are totally blemish free. Cost me over £1500 total including original purchase price, rebuild, legs,and "Widgets". So glad I finally got a pair after years of thinking "shall I shant I". And whoever said they are Bass shy probably never heard a fully rebuilt and working properly, pair.

Just thought you might like to see what they can look like.

Pete.

PETE,

Havent you released a movie of your 57's on youtube? I seem to remember seeing a video of some 57's in an extension similar to the one that you have:scratch:

Hi Andrew.

No not me:scratch:
There are a couple of pairs with similar legs around. They were made by a very nice guy that makes bespoke furniture,plinth's for turntables and quad 57 legs.
His website is called "Layers of beauty". Some lovely stuff on there.

Russ Collinson - carving (sorry) out a bit of a name for himself in the audio world with his woodwork. (There must be a decent market out there, Andre, if you're reading this... :eyebrows:)

O i got a whole bunch of ideas that's guarenteed to wet panties but it the premises to do it that's the problemo :(

[hifi_dave]

I've just ordered a plinth from Russ but it could just as easily been from Andre. Can't you build the business slowly, use the kitchen table and work up ?
