I bought these over thirty years ago and am not sure I used them; maybe once or twice. They are in pristine cond., and in their original box (slight tear and cellophane window perished), with the inner sleeve containing all the specs.

It even has the original price sticker on it! Converts moving mag. phono stage to moving coil'

Not only functional but now a collector's piece, it seems.

Looking for £75 ish to include recorded delivery, but will consider offers for a few days.

Happy to send pictures by email, Marco, but it's just too much hassle using photobucket etc. (involves 'er indoors every time).

I guess anybody in the market/interested would be happy to email me at: mike.a.reed@googlemail.com

I have some Sony equivalents (the same thing with Sony on) on extended loan. They're great to get you going, but the AT630 I replaced them with is far more refined IMO.

Yep, we always had a set or two of these on the shelf I remember...

I had (indeed may still have) a pair of those. Used them for years till I got an Exposure X with a 'proper' MC stage.

Sorry, Snupy 76, but I think it might be sold. Won't know 'til the funds come through, as I'm not totally convinced about this buyer, so it may come back on.

I will accept £60 plus postage, though I don't have all the info. on recorded delivery to Israel, insurance costs, etc.

I tested these yesterday into the mm input of an old Cyrus 1 with the signal from my K. Black. Surprised how much gain these T5s have !

Shall keep you in the loop, either by p.m. or this thread.

T5s now sold.

Tried sending a p.m., snupy76, but this was not accepted.
