I'm thinking of selling my beloved Croft OTL 3. Haven't switched on for the last 15 years, so will need a service, but in the process of getting the schematics.

Oi, surely you know what an OTL (series) 3 looks like? I'll get some together real soon!

It's a big black box with terminals at one end.

It's a lovely amp and back in the day Glenn couldn't make them fast enough..:thumbsup:

Yes I do, however, potential purchasers would probably like to see the exact condition of the amp. I certainly would if i was buying and indeed I've been put off many times by word only adverts with no pictures. Just a friendly heads up!

At the moment it is an "interest check", which could be regarded as a bit of a 'teaser' post. So by the letter of the law needs neither photos nor a price.

However as it stands, few, if any, are going to show much interest until they can see some images of the actual item.

That's much better. Looks at beast. It might be worthwhile looking to see if you have any rare valves in that lot, maybe you could sell those as a separate lot?

Last edited by Barry; Today at 10:53. Reason: All images made viewable (including the last!)

If I bought this and did not receive what was in the last image, I would be most upset.
They look good.

Yes, I suppose I could..But I won't... I've been there with Garrard 301 with a period plinth and 3009 non-improved arm....you feel guilty about tearing up a beautiful matched setup.
