I wonder if it will fetch as much as my Saturnalia 'Magical Love' picture album, with the rarer spiral lable and booklet, or my mint Kate Bush 'Aerial' original release? :)Quote:

You've got the Decca pressing? It will go for thousands.
I agre about it being an average album. Freelance Fiend is an amazing riff, but the rest is bordering on rubbish.
You have great taste in music, btw.
I think it probably will. A copy went on eBay for nearly four grand (!) not that long ago.Quote:

Goldring Lenco GL85 at £399.99! What nonsense. It's not a very good turntable and certainly not one of the 'classic' idler drive units. The platters are prone to warping and you can't get parts for these either.

Mission 774 on this turntable. Looks about the right money to me too
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112270075400

Nice pair of JBL's well worth a punt

The right one in the picture with grilles off has a stuffed tweeter dome.Quote:

Can't imagine that TT is the focus of the bidding. I think the counterweight is solid.

Could be, or the sorbothane has been changed for something black.Quote:

Or more!Quote:

You jest surely? They are not worth anything like that. They don't sound very nice anyway. I wouldn't pay £30 for one.Quote:

Tannoy Eaton HPD 295A speakers. Collect from central London, £400 'buy it now'! Cheap by current standards.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eaton-Tann...YAAOSwUKxYhl4D
No bids either, well worth a cheeky punt, starting price £75Quote:

At the asking price they are worth grabbing anyway. The Eatons are very nice (even if you do have to pay the congestion charge to pick them up). Quite tempted myself actually, they are only about ten miles from me, but do I really need a third pair of Tannoys? :)Quote:

However if you look at it the other way how much would a 301 cost if was manufactured today ? ?....double the price? I should think so .Now I am not advocating that we should all be paying that sort of money for a 301, far from it ! £2000 is mad, but if you put one in a good plinth and if you put a uni pivot arm on it and a good moving magnet cartridge it's with out doubt one of the most engaging front ends I have ever heard. At any price , but it's a fact that these turntables are going up in price, and if you'r ears tell you that this turntable is for you buy one now , they usually go for £600 to £900 and that is a very good one (ore should be! )at those prices , from a engineering, and listening point of view its a very good buy . As are many classics . Technics sl 110
( no not the 1210!) ...........sp15 and sp10 and a few more that can hold there own against most of what's being made today. My oldest son wanted to buy a turntable he was looking at £1000/£1500, I gave him some of my experiences and advised him on a td 124 with an rb 250 or a second hand origin ol 1, just to get things rolling , the front end would be sorted. ....He would only have to upgrade the arm and cartridg in the future and as he was very impressed with my 124/ origin ol1......so he went to a dealer and bought a grands worth of .project turntable with arm and cartridge. It sounds ok........ oh dear !
I paid £25 for my first white 301, which came with an SME 3009, V15 Shure, Leak Troughline tuner, Varislope 2 pre-amp and Stereo 20 power amp, all in a big sixties cabinet. Mind you, that was over thirty years ago.
My silver 301 cost me £30 about five years later.
And the 401 in SME 2000 plinth with SME 3009 arm was £60, also about 25 years ago.
My Goldring Lenco G88 cost £12 and the G99 cost £18, both bought twenty years ago or more.
Just goes to show how prices have gone.
Whats that about putting a wise head on young shoulders ?
ouch.Quote:
