Got a reply now (eventually). I think the guy operates in a state of confusion, could be rather elderly. Picking the stands up Friday hopefully.

Gradually creeping up £300 - Nuts!

I used to pick those up at boot sales for a couple of quid. Didn't rate them much. The similar sized Sony TA-88 was way better.Quote:

Had a look through earlier and my god 600 to 700 for some - i have memories but not at this price...Quote:

plus £ 49 post hmmm
I'm not sure there is a great deal of love for cashconverters on the forum but this Marantz 1050 amp looks nice at £50 if you are local- of course doesn't mean it will sound nice. The fact that the photo doesn't show the full face might mean there are hidden issues.
Cashconverters sell gear that is not tested properly. I know, as I've had to return Hi-Fi that was not working correctly. I've also repaired an old TT as best could for somebody, only to see it in that shop shortly after at a loony price, despite it being incomplete and barely functional.
Oi, careful there Geoff, that's my modus operandi for Saturdays. :eyebrows:Quote:

There seem to be a number of similar ebay members from Bristol with same wording which I've noticed for a while now e.g.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PIONEER-SX...oAAOSwXYtYuXRE
I have been tempted by items in the past but begrudge paying an extra £25 or £22 for delivery for an item in my home town.
He might agree to meet you somewhere away from his home if you ask. Cash sale a lot less potential grief for him than paypal.Quote:

Gamma valve amp. could be a hybrid?, looks tatty, and i have heard that gamma amps were good, but need to be electrically checked.
More crazy pricing.

A rather handsome piece of kit. Seems fair for the asking price.

These wire clips look rather handy for temporary component/circuit hook ups.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1521301224...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
they are similar to the ones I got a few years ago. i used them for speakers internal wiring
Yes, rare is certainly the buzz word on ebay, item still may not be any good of course !Quote:

Only 20 watts into 8ohms but I'm listening in a fairly small space. Any thoughts?

It looks like in pristine condition Patrick. I came across some good reviews of this little amp a few times. Please share your thoughts once you get to listen to it ;)
Really looking forward to giving it a try, it certainly looks in decent condition and it won't make me bankrupt if turns out not to be so good sounding.
The Luxman 700 is a steal! Those things were very expensive when new. I don't see how you could go wrong! If you don't like it you could sell it for a profit. Sharp looking amp, I'm guessing it sounds good!

JBL L40 speakers. Can you spot the problem here?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-of-70...IAAOSwopRYd-2k
They are basically scrap!
Have these in my watch list but was worried about the pushed in tweeter, other than that I haven't a clue lolQuote:

The L40's on ebay:

How they should look:

The pushed in tweeter dome is not good, but the bass drivers are totally wrong. They could be Richard Allen units (maybe).
These speakers are not worth bothering with and are scrap as far as I'm concerned.
