[FS] Yamaha NS-1000M plus spare tweeter, midrange and bass driver

[tankertop]

Going down a new path (SET) so I am, with the greatest of reluctance, letting go of my much loved Yamaha NS-1000Ms. These are in full working order, are in presentable but not mint condition - the top of one of them (see pix) could do with revarnishing which would bring it up nicely. The cabinets don't have any major dings - there's a small piece of veneer missing under the bass driver of one - but that's about it.

The speakers are a matching pair (same serial number) and have not been modified in any way, except for the addition of superior speaker binding posts.

Together with the speakers I'll be offering three drive units - a tweeter, midrange and bass driver, all in correct working order. Additionally, the buyer will also receive free two non-working bass drivers which have suffered the 'magnet slipped in transit' syndrome (one came from Andyrlb). These can be be fixed but I've simply not had the time (or, happily, the necessity) to pursue.

I know collectively these are worth around £1500 or more parted out but I'd like avoid the hassle so am selling as one lot. £950 cash, collected from Bedford. Demo a pleasure, please ask any questions...

Just an update to say I've had to pull out of this deal due to the logistics of transporting them from Bedford to Scotland.

Too risky to trust courier due to weight and no suitable boxes and my alternative method of having my brother do a 4hr round trip just to collect them and still have them 7 hours from me was just asking too much.

I hope the seller gets them sold ok.

Had three buyers for these but logistics proved tricky in the end - I'm definitely not going to send these, for collection only please. Up again...

For info I got quotes for delivery to Scotland coming in at around £120 insured so that might help any potential buyer, this didn't put me off at all as the price asked is excellent considering the whole package.

The is also that guy that Jamie123 has used, he'll deliver in England but won't come North of the border. But for anyone in the south be might be a great option.

Thanks dude. As you say, great shame the distance between us proved problematic...

Serious bargain particularly when you consider the unicorn rare spares.

Thanks dude. As you say, great shame the distance between us proved problematic...No worries, it was more the logistics of getting someone to nip in past and check them over before committing, my brother was just too far away to make that viable, I also wasn't sure my wife would be keen on them, then she let me buy Tannoys, typical.
