  1. Hi Mike
    I found my old gumtree listing from only two years ago. I advertised the Lector and sold it with it’s manual and a Harmony remote control for £400. I don’t remember it skipping through a track though. I probably replaced it with a Resolution Opus 21 at much higher cost.
    Best Wishes

    Hi Roy

    Mine has a generic remote so there is a good chance it was your player. It has Mullard tubes.

    It sounds really good once warmed up only issue I have with it is that it can skip now and again. Luckily it uses a generic Phillips transport that cab be bought off eBay. I will try cleaning the heads first.
    The inside is heavily modified with paper in oil capacitors and changes to the pub.

    Did you find a better sounding CD player, I really like the valve sound as all my Amos are valve powered. Played the Beatles Remastered Abbey Road cd last night and the base response was outstanding and now challenges my gyro turntable.
  3. Hello Mike
    I think that I bought mine from a guy in Devon. It contained some Croft modifications, although I am not convinced that Glenn had carried out the work personally. I vaguely remember that I had a problem with a faulty remote control and had to replace it with a generic one. The player certainly sounded good and it performed well beyond it’s price point. I wondered whether the models further up the range were much better in standard form, but I haven’t managed to hear any yet.
    I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other specific enquiries.
    All the best

    Hi Roy

    I can see that you owned a Lector 0.5t cd which had been modified. I bought one a few months off eBay and was wondering if it was your old player and if you had any more information on the unit.

    Thanks

    Mike
