You missed out the ones in the corner (0.6%) that have a faint whiff of cat pee. You'll have to adjust your figures accordingly!
I was lumping them in under 'scratched/damaged and unplayable'!
But the 8% could make it all worthwhile and so close to work where I have a load of big benches and about 1000 square feet to play withQuote:

I just got a Mark Stewart 12" limited edition of 700.
A few years time that will be pretty rare
Then there's the Neil Young Chrome Dreams I CD I have. Could be official and rare or a bootleg of some sort. Can't find it
That one's only listed in my mind Mike!
No I remember it !Quote:

More of a giveaway than a bargain - the stands alone are worth twenty notes. Pick up only though.Quote:

A beautiful pair of Rogers ls2a/2 in fabulous condition - my definition of "fabulous condition" differs somewhat! :doh:
Those rounded off corners are what us aficionados class as 'patina' guv'nor.
Rustic style feature :D
Yeah, makes 'em more collectable.......almost priceless.

Good job he put pictures up of that "feature" cos if I'd bought them and then found out what they were really like he'd have got a pat in da chops!Quote:

Never Mind!
No speaker can be like a resister. The impedance varies with frequency.
Wow they are rare

Hi Shane,Quote:

Quoted impedance ratings are very arbitrary and just give an average.
The Celestion Ditton 15 has, as quoted, a 4 to 8 ohm rating, you should just regard this a 6ohm speaker, although, I've measured the DC resistance of the driver coils in the past and found them to read around 6 ohms, meaning that under dynamic/driven conditions they are to all intents and purposes 8 ohm speakers.
Mystery Cambridge R50 speakers, They appear to have an EMI bass driver, two midrange units and an unidentifiable tweeter. Are these an early version or have they been messed about? If they have, the buyer may end up very disappointed. I've not seen a pair like this before.

Pair of Lowther DX2 drivers in home built cabs. Based in London.

Decent looking pair of KEF B200 SP1012 drivers at a very reasonable £40.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KEF-B200-S...item257bd7ddcc
Ouch! These are for parts/not working etc.

Shane, there's only one and no drive unit.Quote:

They are supposed to sound wonderful though. Not convinced myself, but I haven't heard them. Lowther equipped speakers don't do much for me really.
So just a cabinet eh? I wonder what an Antiques Roadshow valuer would mark it up at? ;)
Well the lot (including those pee'd on by the cat) went for £390. If there were only four rare LPs in mint condition, the buyer might make a profit. However by the looks of things, I imagine most of the records will be worthless.Quote:

They have the right grills but I've never seen an R50 (or HFA TL) configuration like that. They should have KEF B139, B110, T27 and STC Supertweeter from memory.Quote:

Interesting description.

Very nice looking pair of Goodmans Magnum K2 speakers in Frome. Only up to £33 at the moment, ends tomorrow. Best of the Magnums in my opinion!

Someone definitely got a great bargain here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AccuphaseT...p2047675.l2557
An Accuphase T-100 for the equivalent of £161! These are supposed to be better than the T-101. What a shame I'm skint!
Regards,
Nick
YUM YUM Yes please
I can't believe there were only 7 bids on it!
I can because i bought a few good tuners for next to nothing due to lack of bids, seems no one's bothered about Tuners anymore. To be honest i don't listern to radio at all have'nt for nearly 15 years.
Fuckin well annoyed if i did not go to a car boot i would of go that..

Um i recon i won those for a fair old price..

That deck is totally drool-worthy Ian - never seen one before ...
Nice but without the original plinth & colour i feel the whole Dieter Rams aesthetics design is no more..
