Sale of Vinny's complete system....plus more

[take5]

Many of you will have seen the couple of threads that I started recently concerning the passing of member VINNY/BONNEVILLE.
His family have asked if I could help move on Vinnys Hi Fi kit.

I went down yesterday and collected it all, and it is in my house. Im handling all aspects of the sell off.

Ive only just got it, so havent tested any of it yet. I will do soon.
But Vinny was very particular that his kit worked properly, so Im sure it will all be fine.

In any case , it will be set up and listened to before I sell it.

Here is a list of what is available, with prices.


------------

Velleman 8020 valve amplifier ............ 200

Technics compact disc player .............. 40

Ion systems X PAK 1/2.03 ................selling this as pair with Obelisk . 250 for both
Ion system OBELISK 3X/2.03

Marantz PM4 integrated amp ................. 425

Specialist bass unit audio electronics ltd speakers. these are 2 Bass drive units.
each unit is almost 12 inches in diameter, including the metal frame. actual speaker part is 9 inch diameter.
I cant find out anything about these. Open to help !!
see the picture. I can take better/closer ones if needed.

QUAD ESL-63 electrostatic loudspeakers ............ 600.
I saw these in the family house before we packed them away in the original boxes. they looked in really great condition. the wood is brown.
I havent unpacked them again yet, to take pictures.... but can if needed.

Marantz Cd 52 CD player .............50

Exposure 2010- CD player with remote............ 200

Samsung DVD writer SE-208..................10

T motion TP2 powersupply ........10

Logitech squeezebox touch , with remote ..............80

QED Conduit MDH6 distribution hub ..........80

There are 3 sets of interconnects. 2 by Hitachi plus one other set

2 pairs of speaker cables. one set bronze colour/flat. ( probably to go under a carpet.)
other are large/chunky. see pictures.
Im just going to include the interconnects and cables individually to folks who buy stuff. ie freebies, but not all included in one deal.

there are many power cables. everything sold will have one.


I didnt know much about this kit, so the prices are based on my research plus some advice given to me on threads I started,
and in private messages I have received.
So, I may be wrong, and need to adjust. But that is the prices initially.

There is too much stuff to post lots of individual pictures now, so I have just taken two, to show it all.
But I am happy to take pics and E mail to folks who are interested, and to provide more detailed descriptions of condition, if needed.

Buyers are very welcome here to see and hear stuff. Im in West Lancs, near Rainford.
Initially, I would prefer not to get in to posting stuff. Possibly later.

I drive up to Scotland regularly and can get them up there for no extra cost. so, M6/M74/Perthshire.
I may possibly take a detour into the North east, on one of these trips, for a contribution to my petrol costs.

I may also drive south to deliver/meet, again with a contribution to my petrol costs.

thanks

I'm sorry about the circumstances of this sale, I didn't know Vinny but may have met him if he was at Scalford 2017.

[Parcelmonkey]

Feeling awkward on this but have sent you a message.

PM'd....

[take5]

Ade, thanks for your message. I will reply later, as I have to go out now.

just wanted to add a few thoughts, for you and to others.

no need for anyone to feel awkward about any of this..

Pat and Andy are both very comfortable with all of this. Pat in particular is just happy to have all of this out of the house.

It has to go, and there are very nice plans ahead for the money raised, which I needn’t go in to.

please come forward if something is of interest.

[Barry]

Hello Brian,

I understand this is a difficult time for all concerned, and appreciate the help you are giving Vinny's family, but could you provide some photos of all of the kit up for sale?

Since there is quite a bit of kit to be photographed, and given the circumstances, we will leave the post in place for you to add some images as and when you can provide them.

Thanks

[hifinutt]

the velle is well worth buying , i am using one now into some firebottle mono`s

How you getting on with them?

could I gently ask that this for sale thread doesn’t become cluttered up with chat about other kit that has nothing to do with what I’m selling.

Thanks

[Bigman80]

Quite right, I apologise. Original post edited. I didn't read the title of the thread.

I hope everything sells over market value for the family.

It has been pointed out to me on another forum that the flat speaker cables may be worth some money.

there is no brand name on them, and I had a little look around Ebay, but couldnt find anything.

so, i just assumed they were just cheap and cheerful.

Can anyone confirm that these are "Electrofluidics " ????

the terminations at one end have the letters DRS and ZRG on them, if that helps.

ive found some now on Ebay, which look the same, but they have a name on them. here is a link.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ElectroF...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

If they are these, then I will not now be including them as a freebie. Sorry for my error.

I will add a picture of what I have.

[take5]

Andrew/Rexton. im asking 80 pounds for it. see the first post in this thread.
thanks

[take5]

Here are the other speaker cables

Again, no name on them

Any value?

I have no idea what the flat speaker cables are, or indeed whether they have a significant value but it might be an idea to measure the lengths and make a note on the thread as this info will be pretty important to anyone considering them.

Andy

[take5]

Andy, great idea. thanks

the flat version are 2.5 mtrs
the blue/chunky version are 3.5 mtrs

[Lawrence001]

That was me on Pfm, want to help out as much as possible. The other one looks like Ixos, could be this one?

[take5]

Technics compact disc player

Ion systems X PAK 1/2.03
Ion system OBELISK 3X/2.03

Marantz PM4 integrated amp

QUAD ESL-63 electrostatic loudspeakers

Marantz Cd 52 CD player

Exposure 2010- CD player with remote

QED Conduit MDH6 distribution hub .

................................


I had a play with the above kit today. Various combinations.

everything works perfectly, as I thought it would.

one minor problem. the Cd drawer on the Marantz 52 CD player opens fine/automatically. But it is stiff to go back in, and news a little gentle push. works perfectly otherwise.

The speakers sound great.

I will take some pictures and write more on them later.

[take5]

Can I have the Pm4 please Brian

andy, i will go public with a reply as it may help others.

i have someone else interested in buying this.

like you, he is far from me.

so, i am unable to agree a sale at the moment as i dont know how i would get it to him or yourself.

what im hoping is that I get buyers for maybe 3 or 4 things, and then I might be able to deliver/ meet up south of here.

Im still hoping for northern folks to turn up at my house and leave with lovely kit.

Lets see how it goes.

Earlier I sent you a PM asking for some pics on the bass drivers. Assuming I can find some info on them and we agree a sale I would get a mate to pick them up. He is 10 minutes away from you so you would have not have to pack and post.

I'm very limited in my knowledge of all things audio but could they look like Ixos Gamma cables with an outer cover? Not normally that expensive...

[Lawrence001]

I linked to it above, Alan (mad moon) sold a similar pair a while ago for £50.

Ok, Ive had a good look at the Quad speakers now.

they are in really great condition. consecutive serial numbers.

Seem to work perfectly, with no funny noises etc.

visually, well you can see.

The grills/cloth is fantastic. Not a single rip, snag etc

I dont know when these date from, but I cant imagine that this cloth is original. It looks very recent.

the family dont know any of the history etc, Im afraid.

the only thing to point out is one scratch to the top of the wood. ( see the last picture)

its almost exactly in the centre, on the back rear edge. About one inch or so, it extends inward on a diagonal..

Thats it..... thats all folks.... there is no more to tell

Fantastic condition.

I have the original boxes and packaging, but Im afraid I not prepared to post

[struth]

quads look smashing.. great buy for someone.

Im afraid there are two others before you who have asked me to post this.

My preference is not to post.

Maybe down the line, but not at the moment.

Just to round this off, as many knew Vinnie.
The family had no idea the stuff was worth so much, and are delighted with how much we have collected with all the sales.

Thanks to all.

And also for the kind messages re Vinnie. It has been very nice for them to read them, on the 3 threads I’ve started.

Pat is now going to Toronto, to visit a relative.
