Are you really sure Dave? The ST60 is no ST20(e) and the one I had, which was fifteen years old by the late eighties, sounded harsh and not nice at all (full rebuild needed I suspect). it does look funky I think, with its controls as sliders on the flat (dust gets into them though rather quickly).

I do have a standard ST20e which is complete and "just" working, needing a bit of a recap I think. This latter was a very sweet toned little amp, if a little bassy now (could be the caps going off of course).

Sorry, can't help otherwise. Hope you find one you can work on and restore to its original pretty good performance.

Did you not read the post immediately before yours, Ray? I suggest you do...

If you feel you have something to offer our community other than gratuitous self promotion of items you wish to sell, then may I suggest you introduce yourself in the Welcome section of the forum. Otherwise, there's a rather well known site for selling stuff with not quite such rigorous requirements for engagement, involvement or respect - try googling "ebay"

Well said Alex.

Indeed.

Ray,

Your ad has been removed until you pop into the welcome area, as Alex has outlined.

Once you do so, however, your advert will be reinstated. I trust that you understand and will respect our wishes :)

Marco.

Well said Alex.

+1

& then what Marco it gets put back up job done the member dissapears?

Some settings need to be laid down for say a dozen member posts before a classified can be posted.

Can all Techy post have self destruction in play aswell while were at it :lol:

Point taken, dude, but at least they've been made to make *some* sort of an effort. A few decent folks have actually stuck around and become good contributors, after having been initially zapped by the 'AoS Police' ;)

As for restricting use of the classifieds section to members who have a dozen posts or more, that wouldn't be too difficult to do, and so we may look into that.

The trouble is, you don't want to impose too much control, as otherwise it spoils the sense of community - there has to be the right balance.

The most important thing is that when people join AoS, they know from day one that this is a community of audio enthusiasts and music lovers, and not simply a faceless 'Internet site' or 'Bulletin Board' that they can milk for their own selfish ends!

Quite simply, there must be some giving before any taking occurs......

But no, not in the sense you're thinking of, dirty boy! :eyebrows:

The point, (I think) of Alex comment other than coming on here just to sell something, is that he is trying to sell it to a deceased member of the forum.
Without any due consideration and without reading the link supplied by Mark Grant.
This is rather upsetting.
And makes me angry. :steam:

Marco

Indeed, Darrell. Some folk have no consideration for anything other than their own selfish interests..... :(

Close it! Simples ;)

I agree with your sentiments, Andr'e.

Trouble is, I hate deleting things unless it is absolutely necessary (spam, porn, links to illegal activity, etc), as is smacks of censorship.

Therefore, I'd rather leave the thread intact to serve as an example of what isn't acceptable here, so people get the message loud and clear!

Closing it is certainly a good idea, though, so CLOSED it is.

Marco.
