Must have been around 1971 or so I bought a Teleton STC106 Stereo cassette deck. No Dolby on it. Very well made and worked fine to many years before I gave it to a friend, was also made by Mitsubishi.
This was recorded on it in my bedroom in the early 70's, a friend playing my guitar. It has had a few transfers, so quality is reduced from original.

This shows the Mitsubishi link with the Teleton name. http://www.nvhr.nl/gfgf/schema.asp?M...sSubmitted=yes
Not ebay but these look quite nice for the money, Boxed Trio KA 3750 for £40 delivered and boxed Trio KT 5550 tuner for £30 delivered

Nice looking pair of Tannoy Devon's. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-DEV...cAAOSw9NdXtfyi
S.
These just look awful

I sold my 'as new' Heresy's for not a great deal more than that... what is wrong with Emporium Hifi as they always seem to be overpriced to me..? :doh:
Well they are early alnico versions, which I suppose makes them desirable.
The cabinets look solid enough. I reckon I could have those looking near enough new easily enough. But then I don't mind taking on that sort of restoration. Others might balk! :)
Virtually everything Emporium Hi-Fi sell is IMO overpriced; or has been 'fiddled with', so is not in an unmolested condition.Quote:

Got a Teleton turntable kicking around here if you want to complete the set!Quote:

Hi Alex & Geoff
No pictures yet guys ive already got in one to check the bass unit surrounds for rot and their fine photos will be uploaded in due course with a thread on my findings.
In the meantime ive just won this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1621772827...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
:eek:
Excellent, might sound fine, I remember the Alba Integra 4000 amplifier was popular a long time ago. There was also the UA range, almost forgotten about those.Quote:

I always liked Teleton stuff, only one item I came across that was not so good, the Teleton GT 202 tuner, cosmetically matched the SAQ206 etc. made nicely, worked fine, apart from too hissy on FM Stereo, despite a good aerial input. I tried several samples, shame.Quote:

The Teleton CR10T was a very budget tuner amplifier, remembering hearing this sound pretty good for what it was.
Oh dear Dan. What does that say about your "high end items"? :eek:Quote:

Why? Just because it's got a bit of woodgrain vinyl wrap on it? A few years ago this would have been £10 boot sale fodder. I'd sooner have a PL-12D.
Quite pretty I guess and looks the part.Quote:

Those look in decent condition for a seventies speaker. The Devons are liked by many. They use the respected HPD 315A driver, as is also used in the Mk.I Cheviot. They are a proper dual concentric monitor driver, based on the Monitor Gold. The crossovers would no doubt benefit from a service by Paul (RFC), unless they have been looked at recently.Quote:

Any idea what they are really worth ?
At the moment, I guess asking prices can be up to maybe £750, with a realistic selling price of perhaps £500 to £550 depending on condition. They tend to fetch about 15/20% or so less than the bigger Cheviot.
Thanks for the info Geoff, much appreciated... :)
I bought a pair about 4 years ago, had new foam surrounds fitted, cabinets were very tatty, one completely split along one joint.Quote:

Think I got a good deal at £400.
Have repaired the split cabinet, but cabinets need refinishing, possibly re-veneering.
Great thanks Alex.. ;)
aren't these kens old 66's ?

Big, active JBL Array. Very tempting
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JBL-Pro-37...8AAOSwawpXuJEK
Tempting if you've got the money it's likely to go for. Don't reckon it'll be cheap. Should sound interesting though.
No bids on them so far.
Lots of crossover pitfalls there. Also need a big high ceiling room. Might not go for much
I have the room for them, and the active crossover he is selling separate. Pity they are so far away in Mexborough. That's Yorky land isn't it?Quote:

Not the worst motor unit in the world, but - no tonearm, cheesy plinth, platter scraping and sold as 'needing a refurb' (good luck getting any parts) ... worth about £75 maybe?

The listing says item location in Marlborough - down in sunny Wiltshire :-)Quote:
