Hi,

Well just brought back my old TRIO KA 7100 was good price now off for a full service and then to go in the collection looking in the year book this £200 in 1978 :) well worth restoring to former glory was very cheap to buy back forgot how heavy it is 11.5KG stuff of this era is superbly well built this one has and is a stunning thing to look at was in my ownership a good 4/5 years ago i came buy it again because i have just bought a Pioneer A300X and the guy said i still have this i bought from you - LOL i asked to buy it back...:lol:

Daniel

It's a hefty bit of kit if I recall. Dual mono layout with some beefy transformers.

60 watts per channel yep lifted it out the car forgot how hefty and heavy it is can remember what i sold it for but well worth the £20 to buy it back...:)

Well the Beast is home and warming up sounding rather superb temporary position as don't like it on the floor just about fits enough air to breath in this rack

Job done a keeper for sure was originally brought in 2011 from a Wimbourne bootsale for £5 - used for a good couple of years then sold to a chap then i bought back end of last year and needed a hell of a lot of work to get it going

She does look fab.....rather poor photo sorry guys
