could be a bargain, only 2 hours left

A bargain you say?
At £9.00?
Are you sure?
I'd think there are cheaper ways to hear rumbling noises!
Name one!

Back in the sixties and early seventies Neat was very much 'budget' equipment. It would do the job, but was regarded as very basic gear. Their cartridges and pickup arms were amongst the cheapest around.Quote:

Edit: Oh its gone now.
More loony pricing. £199 for a bottom of the range early seventies Rotel RA-210 amplifier. Eight quid from a boot sale would be more like it.

Ahh but this ones got "Alps pots" :eyebrows: ......Much like every other amplifier made in Japan since 1970 :rolleyes:Quote:

I would prefer to connect an amp of 24 watts or less or 201 watts or more in order to avoid the booming effect but that's probably just me :)
He does say the " I always try and describe items to the best of my ability."
cut him some slack ;)
You're right, I am very unkind. I do wonder though if the grainy sound is just due to him connecting up some other recycle junk for amplification and source and the speakers are actually in good order. Bargain if you are near to Kettering.
Although I don't know if I like Kettering since I've never kettered (boom - tish).
The ridiculous description is not his and not his fault. That's eBay's onsite product information, god knows where it came from, it reads like a 'Pidgin English' translation.Quote:

Exactly how knackered is this ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-A-Michel...item2a2b78297c
Any bits obviously missing/damaged ? [apart from the cables.] enquiring minds want to know ;)
Bearing: spindle looks like it's done a runner.
Not the original platter for starters
Looks like it needs an arm cable, part of a foot and a platter spindle at least.Quote:

Meh... Best left to the vultures then. Thanks chaps.
The same seller has a TD-150 with an all wood (inc top plate) plinth a la AR Legend(ish)Quote:

The description has one of the funniest sentences I've ever read in a classified advert.
Quote:
When combined together, these 3 units produce a quality of sound far in excess of what might be expected from the individual components.
But each component has received a 5 Star Review from WTF. 'Nuff said. :eyebrows:Quote:

Yes and the amp probably makes a gentle thrum on it's own, but unlpugged speakers? Well, I just find them a bit boring.
Back in the day you could get the local taxi firm's radio transmisions breaking through on the speakers - even with the system switched off. So maybe that's what he means. 'Tango 12, Tango 12, pick up at 24 London Road...'Quote:
