I thought for a minute you were snorting drugs again Grant! :eek: :D
Not me. Never have. No, no.... :D
Seriously Chaps.....:eyebrows:
:lol:
I've read you can use wd40 on a cotton tip (cotton ear bud) and rubbed on the oxidation. Other than that what Grant suggests should work too, dampen the foil in the coke and then rub the rca jacks

Update
Well this amplifier arrived sure needed a good clean seems to have come up well as of yet not tested
The one thing the seller did not mention was the Rust/Oxidized RCA inputs jacks:steam::steam::steam:....Any idea on how to remove this from them?
Tested
DEAD RIGHT CHANNEL THROUGH BOTH A&B SWITCHES :( Oh well....checked i can only see one fuse but thats OK...
Trust me on this Neil, I almost definitely made this amp myself, it was also me who came up with the name "Mistral" :)
These amps were not made until 96, maybe 97.
Also, they could be supplied with the phono board inside, which is basically an LFD mmo board but from memory different caps but pretty much the same as the MMO.
It could be changed to MC by soldering across a couple of pins, or was it cutting the solder joint, cant remember which way round.
But it was far more than a get you home phone stage:)
A phono stage board could be retro fitted to these amps, but as it happens this one definitely does have the phono board inside, I messaged the seller and asked.
Btw, not a huge difference between the mistral and the LFD int zero, wiring and caps tbh, same main pcb and transformer.
The Int Zero LE had a bigger transformer and heatsink which actually meant about 90 watts, its the same transformer that went into all the bigger lfd amps at the time.
I did suggest to Richard that we should make a super mistral with this transformer, cant actually remember if any were made though, might have been...
Very interesting post Jeff.

Green scouring pad (pot cleaner) with a little Brasso or T-cut on it. Be careful not to rub the plating completely off though.
What about these bad boys on Gumtree, if I had room I'd be giving them a try.

That's probably the most they're worth. Chipboard cabinets and cheap drivers. May sound OK though.

I don't think they're very heavy Shane. I doubt they're as big as you think. Those look like 8" bass drivers to me and I bet the magnets are not huge. The horns are plastic and the woodwork won't be thick.

Dunno if it's just me, but images are not displaying on eBay.
It was OK earlier and images display fine from elsewhere, so I think it's their site having issues.

The photos on search page lists display OK, but when I open a listing the pictures on the ad are missing. Not happening on other sites.
Did a reboot and restarted the hub in case signal was low.
Seem to show here. just tried 3, all pics showing. I'm using firefox. might be an adblock effect. Ive had that occasionally where the adblock mistakes pics for ads

Ah. Mister detective :). You were right. I allowed ads on the site and the photos now show. I wonder why it's started doing that.
Might try another ad blocker. I was about to use another browser. Don't need to now.

It may well clear itself in a few days. Some blockers allow you to greenlight sites, or to disable on pages/ sites etc. Mine did it a while back, but a few days later it was ok again.

Very tidy Garrard 301 with Decca FFSS arm and Mk.III elliptical cartridge. £1149 starting price.

It's a nice combination. The TT looks in top original condition. And the rare Mk.III elliptical is towards the top end of how good a Decca can sound. It even has the correct arm rest and lifter. The price is very fair.

that is the one Ninanina was selling as working on here but strangely listed in her ad as 'for parts only'
the buyer alcarmichael (on aos) was warned it would go bang and surprise surprise it did,he's now trying to palm it off on some other poor sod.still he's doubled his money so he cant complain.the whole sorry story stinks to me!
and according to him who cant be named its only fit for burning and he wont touch it,its causing a storm on 'that forum'

gawd knows.. the missus of the original proud owner, probably had it stuck in the garage, (underneath the hole in the roof) after the hubby died because she was happy with a transistor radio and it didn't go with her flock wallpaper.
The arsewipe who's selling it doesn't have a clue, but he has got a smartphone.. the only good result is that the seller is being billed 4% of the reserve price (at least £54)..they do say that you pay to learn... :D

If you can't move the driver by hand then, yes, it's knackered.
If the magnet was loose it could have caused a lot of rubbing and eventually overheated and welded itself up.

not that I know anything about speakers but surely that's a mistake, if they were trying it on would they not have a BIN. I guess they needed top quality speakers to partner the top of the range system pictured.
I thought these looked good value. Going to Edinburgh for the weekend and could pop over but suspect I wouldn't be able to bring them back as hand luggage.

Yeah. It could be a mistake. Stupid one though. :)
Those Goodmans Goodwoods are not a matched pair. One of the bass units has the vinyl 'skin' (which appears to be coming unstuck in places) over the whole cone and forming the roll surround and the other has a vinyl roll surround and a doped cone. Also the centre dust cap of one mid driver is pushed in, easy enough to sort though.
I meant to say I would have expected a make an offer rather than BIN if trying it on - too much wine!
never spotted the difference on the Goodwoods - things look so obvious when someone points them out!

I bought them in sixties corner cabinets and that's how I've kept them so far. They sound incredibly lucid.
The pair on eBay are a bit pricey, but do look in very nice nick.
Remember you getting those corners and being amazed by them Geoff. But yes, they are over priced and not as good as the teles ive got...a bit smaller too. Look nice though, and would have a set if cheap enough

I could be wrong but I thought it was obligatory to have a paypal account to sell.
"no Paypal acc bank transfer cleared before dispatch." just screams wrong to me.

Looks in good nick and not a bad price if the refurb has sorted the problems.

Not eBay, rather a physical auction house called Criterion on the Essex Rd very close to the Angel, Islington in London.
A pair of Cambridge Soundworks Newton T500, lower estimate of £100 and knowing this place they could well sell for £50. They take online bids, if anyone's interested.
Auction starts at 3pm today I think.
Anyone have an idea what these are actually worth? (Assuming they even work!)

I had a pair of BC1's for many years. The bass units look like they may well be right with one a later factory replacement. they were only rated @ 40W and I blew one of mine and ended up "upgrading" to the 55W's direct from Spendor.
The HF 1300's are right but the missing Coles unit is only available "used".
The bass units will be prone to sagging, and I doubt if the joker selling them really has a clue as to how they should/might sound but if the bass units are "right" they are still a good price for the parts.

Hi Taz
Their an interesting design but worth what i payed for them - sound wise good for their size i tested them with "Dark Side of The Moon" and was quite taken with the clarity as Geoff has stated their is no low bass but its very light but its noticeable but the instrumental detail is clean verdict i will keep them as they are too cute not too apparently the cone magnet is nearly the size of the cabinet.

If it's of interest. The drivers would probably work rather well in a small horn or OB speaker.

I can't think of anything around the £200 mark new that could sound as pleasant. Grado maybe, but they are not as well regarded as they once were.
I liked mine, and it tracked pretty good too. Better than its replacement thats for sure. Guess if you got it for 200 it wouldnt be too bad a buy. Last you a lifetime

Looks like one of the woofers is going, or gone. Not worth more than the starting price I reckon. It's a shame but that's how the market is.

Did notice that too... they are unusual as I've not seen tri-wireable before. Going to give them a miss I thinks...:(
You aren't that close to them either. Fair old round trip. Not sure what the 'multi channel' switch does. Possibly it defeats the internal crossover for fully active operation? Hence the separate binding posts for each driver. Seems unlikely but can't think what else it might do.
They are a distance away, would have asked a mate to pick them up for me who works as a delivery driver or arrange courier if they were worth the trouble. If they're needing work on the driver I guess the x- over will do too and I haven't got the time to be sorting either. Going to leave them and just watch to see how they do...

Bit rich for me at the moment.......but one day. And a weee bit too big for my listening space, another pair of the L710s would do me nicely. Never heard speakers do sax and bass like them.......:eek:astonishingly lifelike.
Bet they would sound lovely in that big room of yours with a Krell up 'em:eyebrows: and they really do bass properly without a wall behind them.
Better than a big screen tv for crimbo? Oh yes.
LOL, the Krell ate up 90 per cent of the big telly budget. No more spending for me for a while.

I've got a chance of a pair of Beard p100 monos for £700 and I'm virtually potless, why oh why does the good stuff never show up when I've got funds.:steam:
I sort of justified the Krell on the ground that classic hi-fi will hold its value better than pound notes. It's rationalising I know but the same applies to the Beards.
I know exactly where you're coming from, I'm frantically trying to sell some speakers and Renaissance Audio monos before the Beards disappear into the ether.

I occasionally buy records and CDs from eBay. There does seem to be a trend towards UK sellers advertising / transacting in US dollars (presumably those who sell more items overseas) following the depreciation of sterling. It may work as an export strategy but it's putting me off as bidding prices rise.

Never sell at that price even though they look minty mint.
Speakers like this no-one thinks are any good. But they are super efficient, an easy load, and will work best close to a wall - all factors that a lot of people need in a speaker and that most modern speakers don't have.

You're like me, rarely buy any hifi that's delivery only, wouldn't trust couriers with something I'm looking forward to trying esp vintage and usually drive some distance if I have found a deal. The other thing I do is if I'm traveling to another town or city I'll look up local ads on Gumtree and see if there is another deal to be had, found the more north you go the cheaper items can get

I think these MAY be RB65's - if so, they are a 3 way with a 12" bass unit with foam surround which may have rotted out unless replaced.' Lively' and somewhat unrefined top end, coloured midrange and oodles of bass. Below the Achromat range at the time - in line with the old Wharfedale XP2's although no XP2 with a 12' driver - sold loads in Comet in 70's early 80's. Loads of fun for possibly not much money. Worth a punt, in my opinion, foam surrounds notwithstanding.

The mid and upper bass drivers look to be from the B&W '6' series, as does the port. They seem to be made from the remenents of a B&W 684, the tweeter is not correct though so maybe they got blown, hence the re-build.

I often wonder what happened to the hundreds of thousands of radiograms sold in the '60s and '70s...
They got scrapped in their thousands. They mostly had valve amps in and garard decks, and were piss poor. There was a trade in the amps for a while. The nicer ones were stripped and kept as furniture.

I could do with it myself, but not at a daft price. I'd sooner make one.
