Iconic. Stunning.
Gosh I must be mad!! :mental:

Well, I have owned these utterly amazing pieces for a few years now. Checking, I bought them in 2014.
It's not exaggerating to say they were one of the stellar highlights of the Scalford show that I took them to.
But what makes them truly legendary is that they feature in the AOS banner! :eek:
It's wonderful to have them around, but well, I guess maybe it's time to make a bit of room and move them on.

They both work and both have been checked over and serviced by a competent professional engineer (http://fixmyamp.co.uk/).
Subsequently, the tape deck has found playing tapes to be a bit of a struggle - I thought it was a tired motor, but I was informed by someone far more knowledgeable than me that it's very likely it simply needs a new belt.

They are vintage kit and the best I can say is that, like any gear, they worked as specified when last tried.
They could probably do with another checkup tbh, that's what I would do if I bought them.

I'd much rather sell them as a pair.
So £400 collected (or meet up) for the two of them.
I don't want to courier these lovely items.
I'm in Glos GL17 but am happy to drive a fair way to deliver or meet up.

Cor ..... :drool:

Hmm, perhaps I need to re-visit my pricing! :lol:


... offers in the region of £2k will be carefully considered. ;)

Well, looking at fleabay I think what some people ask and what they actually sell for are a fair way apart.

Recent US sales are £225 for the receiver and £175 for the tape deck - so I think I have got it about right.

These are back up for sale.
They've been back on my shelf for a few months .... the 'problem' with the previous sale was that the receiver didn't work (it had been OK the last time I had tried it, but hey-ho this is vintage gear!).

The receiver needs some TLC, the buyer said it almost blew his speakers with an awful ongoing cracking noise :eek: - he played me a smartphone recording :eek: Cor lummy.
Do NOT connect the receiver to your speakers until it has been sorted!!


But they are gorgeous to some folks eyes.

So up for sale again as spares or repair or just eye candy for the reduced price of £250 for the pair. :)
Collection only or meet up or I may deliver.
I live in Glos GL17.

Here they are again ....
