Form an orderly que please.
Bound to be some idiots that will pay it. Wonder how the figure of £100 was arrived at? Perhaps it includes a meal. All that ferreting about is bound to build up an appetite.
Is this a joke listing ?
I bought a pair of the Lineaum tweeters when Tandy was closing down, blew one of them, but one still works:D if I could remember where it is. A lot of hype about the tweeters at the time. IMO they were nothing special.Quote:

This is Emporium Hi-Fi. They are well known. Used to be The Hi-Fi Emporium of Diss, Norfolk if I'm not mistaken. Andr'e just bought a nice Michell Focus from them.Quote:

Now here's a real bargain:
An Audio Technica AT95E for a mere £610.
Apparently ".....this is the lowest cost but the best quality cartridge that you should fit to an old record deck before ruining your LP's.."
26 sold :rolleyes:Quote:

dont know the machine but Sugden stuff is very good, and if anyone gets it under a grand they have a bargain Shane....bet it aint as good as a A1000 though
Agreed. Truly desperate. What are you meant to do - pay £100, wank off over some vintage gear and go home??Quote:

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of, £100 just to view....just crazy. Lets just hope Emporium have zero take-up on this to let them know how stupid an idea it isQuote:

Could go cheap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KEF-Refere...item1c339562a7
220 Pounds for an early Quad 303. This 303 probably needs a bloody service!!!

Couple of things here that might be somewhat interdasting
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3606742464...84.m1423.l2649
^ what does anyone know about those?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3508106670...84.m1423.l2649
And furthermore
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1510600009...84.m1423.l2649
Avoid the Final speakers, very hard to get working in a room and in my opinion/experience not that well made (I am referring to that vintage as I have no experience of new ones) - somewhat fragile.
Regards Neil
Humph , good to know dalek
Not really aiming at making a punt on any of those although the shackman devices look like a cheap way into electrostatic mid/highs for someone
Those Shackmans have been on a few times recently. Not sure if they keep falling off or are the result of non paying bidders.
Do look a bit 'blue Peter' don't they , wonder if they work ok
Maybe ill just make my own with a cheese grater and some sticky back plastic ?!?
Don't forget the fairy liquid bottleQuote:

Richard Bacon I think it was who was the Blue Peter presenter who got caught with a line of the old Columbian marching powder, and it never did his career any harm... Hang on, Richard who? :scratch:Quote:

From the Stannit website:
The Curse of Blue Peter
Quote:
It seems that no amount of stickyback plastic and cardboard toilet-roll holders can help former Blue Peter presenter John Leslie mend his shattered career. If it's any consolation (and it probably won't be), the TV star can take some solace from the fact that he's far from alone.
Over the years, an alarming number of former Blue Peter presenters have found themselves immersed in scandals more usually associated with rock stars and Tory MPs. The show's once squeaky-clean image has been tarnished with tales of drugtaking, infidelity, sexual scandal and bankruptcy. During the golden years of John Noakes, Peter Purves and Valerie Singleton the show became synonymous with childhood innocence, but embarrassing revelations about the private lives of presenters are now as memorable as the animals who regularly misbehaved on camera.
The show's name was given a whole new meaning when it emerged that presenter Peter Duncan had once appeared in a pornographic film. We look back at some of the presenters and the scandals which meant they probably had to give back those coveted badges.
Christopher Trace
The first presenter of Blue Peter, from 1958 to 1967, was criticised for giving children a recipe for alcoholic ginger beer. He left the programme under a cloud after his wife filed for divorce, citing a Norwegian girl called Tuna whom he had met while filming the programme. He was declared bankrupt in 1973 and died in 1992.
Peter Duncan
Duncan was the only person to do two stints on the show - 1980 to 1984, and 1985 to 1986 - and the first to appear in a sex film. An actor, Duncan was hired to take over John Noakes's action-man role, but parents objected to his scruffy jeans and sweaters. He played Charlie Chaplin in a musical and was also in Barnum. Now 38, he has a wife, Annie, and three daughters, and still does the odd spot of TV.
Janet Ellis
The actress left Blue Peter in 1987 after four years when it was revealed she had separated from her husband and was pregnant by another man. She later married TV producer John Leach, the father of her child, and went on to campaign on behalf of CND and asthma research, and to host Top Gear. She is now most famous for being the mother of 23-yearold pop star Sophie Ellis Bextor.
Sarah Greene
At 22, Sarah Greene was the youngest presenter when she joined the show in 1980. She left in 1983 to go back to acting and has presented several TV shows, including Going Live. In 1988, she narrowly escaped death when the helicopter being flown by her fiancè, now husband, Mike Smith crashed. She now appears in adverts for financial companies on cable TV.
Michael Sundin
His tenure at the show was brief, from September 1984 to June 1985. He died from liver cancer, aged 27, in 1989. An ex-world trampoline champion, he is said to have left after a personality clash. There was controversy after he was filmed naked in a sex show at the Hippodrome and his gay past revealed. When it emerged that he was dying, he returned to his native Newcastle.
Anthea Turner
Turner presented from 1992 to 1994. She went on to host the Lottery, marry her manager, and have an affair with married businessman Grant Bovey. They later wed but their big day was tarnished by claims that wedding photographs were issued as part of a sponsorship deal with a chocolate maker. Now 42, she recently appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. She enjoys housework.
Richard Bacon
Bacon was sacked just before the show's 40th birthday in 1998, after admitting in a Sunday newspaper that he took cocaine. The newspaper had tracked Bacon, who had been on the show for two years, to a drug dealers' home before confronting him. The scandal severely embarrassed the BBC. Bacon, now 27, became a presenter on the Big Breakfast, and is still much in demand.
Peter Duncan
Duncan was the only person to do two stints on the show - 1980 to 1984, and 1985 to 1986 - and the first to appear in a sex film. An actor, Duncan was hired to take over John Noakes's action-man role, but parents objected to his scruffy jeans and sweaters. He played Charlie Chaplin in a musical and was also in Barnum. Now 38, he has a wife, Annie, and three daughters, and still does the odd spot of TV.
If he's 'now 38' in 2013 that means he was 5 when he started presenting Blue Peter :scratch:
Article linked to doesn't necessarily have to have been published in 2013. 'Now' is a relative word!
Would have been easier just saying article you referenced was from 2002 (rather than 'now is relative' :scratch:), still don't believe he was only 16/17 when he started presenting BP
Yes, it would have been easier to do that if I'd known when it was published or if I could have been arsed to go back & look, but it was almost 1am & I was more motivated by my bed.
Sorry Roy.
And I also apologise on behalf of the editor of The Evening Standard for shoddy journalism.
Being born in 1954, it would make him 26 when he first joined Blue Peter.
Apologies for getting pissy ChrisQuote:
