A bargain ? I think not...
They must be well out of spec. by now.
The buyer would be better off with a pair of the new Falcon Acoustics LS3/5as.

Me too! ...Don't think it looks very good and the feet look like the ones I bought, which I can assure you were not expensive.

There was a guy selling Techie fit, plain lift off custom lids for £25 on eBay, which were the perfect size, but I don't know if they are still available.

If you're ever considering using a Technics cover on your Toshiba Geoff - don't! It won't fit! Smaller. For some reason I never measured my Toshiba and just ordered the Technics cover. Perhaps mine is bigger than yours.

Nevermind…

PS
My deck measures 470 x 370mm.

I have two lids Stephen, they're serviceable, but not exactly mint.

The lids I referred to on eBay were custom items and I did check the quoted dimensions. They would have fitted the Toshiba. Don't know if they're still available though.

I don't know… The item I got is custom made and said to be an exact copy of the Technics cover. It is nice. Just small!

Having just tried the original cover on, I find that is a small fit too. Hmm…

Thursday evening after work I saw a Thorens TD 160 listed with a BIN price of £35 including carriage. Bit surprised at it still being available I had a look. Instead of a 160 I found it was actually a 150 without armboard or arm. Anyway, I bought it as I've fancied one for a while. That was at about 16.50 and it arrived the following day, which did surprise me. Last night I did mention that it was in fact a 150 and the seller apologised. This morning he was up early and found the armboard and arm and was ready to have them posted on Monday, but I told him I would be happy with just the armboard, which he will post on Monday.

The seller is sithnamara and he's a genuine and most helpful seller.

He is a good guy, very knowledgeable too, surprised about the mistake, but easily done.

I bought a Quad 303 from him several years ago, he had serviced it, and it was in lovely condition.

In four years of buying bits of stuff, it's the quickest response I've ever had. It was well packed too covered in bubblewrap in a stiff Audiolab 8000 amp box with a further cardboard sleeve and then secured with two bands of wrap.

What are you after Stephen? I have a large amount of vintage switches or is it just modern stuff you want?

I'd like to try and get hold of a large green push power switch like an old LP12 type, Geoff.

Seller has a mangled Toshiba DD turntable.

The English language suffers the same fate.

Does include an ADC LMG 1 headshell, however:

They look like one of the 15" PA model drivers from the 'Wildcats' series. Decent units and fine sounding, but not Monitor Golds!

The Monitor Gold has circular holes in the chassis and does not have the clearly visible ceramic magnets.

These are a generation or so more recent.

I like how the seller cannot decide if it is a 'Tirn table' or a 'Truntable'
