Still a fairly good chance of 3 bargains here - only 48 hrs to go (Sunday evening finish) and the SL_P1200B is currently at £10.50 plus shipping and the two SL-P1200 ASC machines are sitting at £20 and £25 plus shipping!!!Quote:

Normally I'd say YES but one of the Bass/Mid units seems to be wrong?Quote:

It just so happened that I was passing his address on my way back from work the following afternoon and noticed the car parked outside. It looked to be in cracking condition so I decided to stop for a closer look. It was mint inside and out (rare for a builders vehicle :lol:) and at 350 quid taxed and MOT'd I just couldn't resist.Quote:

Mine arrived today, superb they are, i notice he does some EMT ones

Yes Andr'e, I remember them. These days they may be of vintage interest, but £795 is just silly.Quote:

Bought this tonight, should get about £75.. back for the 'LVV'.. Can't make out the cartridge but it looks like an A&R 'P77'!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2512867099...84.m1423.l2649
Well someone's splashing the cash lately :eyebrows:
Upgradeitus or one for the collection ?
One of my all time fave decks James, i bought a nice SME '3009' S2 Imp with Shure 'V15III' that will fit the bill :eyebrows:
Looks nice. Reasonable price too from Emporium, who can be a bit pricey sometimes. I reckon the LVV will fetch about £100 these days. The cartridge could be A&R, but the writing on the front could also be ADC.Quote:

Yes, people are nuts! The 160 is nothing special to me!!Quote:

Well I just bought a very clean TD160 Super Mk.II with ADC ALT1 arm and VMS 20E cartridge. For less than half this one's price and the Super has a Lexan lid not the old polystyrene type, which as you say breaks! The arm & cartridge are gone, so now the TT stands me in at about £100, not too bad!Quote:

I like these : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heybrook-Q...item2c6fbd4f47
... Not seen these before ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ion-System...item4173ff5f90
Worth a watch http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Si...item46100e3f31
Far better than the equivalents from Pioneer or Sony et al.
Those Quartets are gorgeous looking things! Never had the chance to see/hear them in the flesh though.Quote:

Indeed. I know the ex sales director of Heybrook [he runs a local pasty company now!] His system is TT2/Signature/Quartets .... Looks & sounds very nice.Quote:

Got me the 1200B at not a bad price - the first one went for £243 IIRC - more snipers than a Bosnian marketplace.Quote:

I'm well pleased wanted one of these for about 20 years - just for the look really I've never heard one. So thanks for the heads-up, Paul. :)
No probs Martin - the other two look like they're heading to France so I was glad to see one staying on home soil. I hope you put yours to good use (remember you'll need to watch an HSE vid on safe lifting techniques as they're surprisingly weighty... LOL)Quote:

Either it will sound dire or it will sound brilliant but the laser will die on me after 10 minutes :) It still has to survive the courier of course. But, all part of the fun and it will be an itch scratched.
It'll look good next to the SL-1200 :)
Yep - 'Broadcast Alley' :)Quote:

Silver Bass unit baskets aswell at that :(
£50 is the very very top limit for a minty pair IMO. I found they sucked me in, I thought they sounded great [I still think they are alright] but once you move on to something else... Anything else [except maybe Ditton 15's dare I say it :lol:] you may find they sound dull as dishwater, wooly and indistinct.
You can easily pick up Goodmans Magnum K for under £70 which are IMO/IME better in every department as long as you listen relatively "on axis" due to the cone tweeter. I wish I kept mine :doh:
They do sound nice. I have 3 of them here 2 fully working and 1 for spares/repair.They are big and heavy but well worth it..Quote:

These need a good home and the mods look interesting. I've been after a pair for a while, but too far for me and collection only.
