The Old Barbarian should have his vintage system completed by July time fingers crossed. Everything is Rebuilt now, it's just a matter of Cosmetics & Woodwork with the rest of the equipment.

However the Loudspeakers {Castle Acoustics Ltd 'Conway Mk.I'} are completed to better than new condition.

Anyone that knows the Old Barbarian knows he's has no interest in specialist stands etc :D A few members have seen them already but here you go..

The love affair started with Castle all the way back to my School days, First love if yew like :eyebrows:

Keep cool, man.
You like very distinctive looking kit, Andre.
Some folk will like it, others won't.

Ain't that the truth. You should revel in the differences Andre rather than be frustrated by them:cool:

Put your picture back!!

I find one of the most interesting aspects of this hobby is the sheer variety of kit people use/create.
Particularly love the older and more obscure stuff ...

I thought they were Ferrograph 'S1' but the grills are wrong & they look a bit tall & not as deep so im going for Leak Speakerz?
