The Abis is not made by Jelco but its manufacturer is a closely guarded secret - I couldn't find out when I reviewed it!
I must admit I liked it - its a good arm and works a treat with a DL103.

looking at the pictures it just got a groove on the underside with a metal tube for stiffness and to carry the wires.Quote:

Maybe somebody like Trigger from fools and horses could buy them ? I ll have em Del !
Makes a whole new definition for "seller refurbished " .Quote:

Once again, Decca asking prices going barmy. Will it sell?

2k for these Tannoy Eaton's! The seller needs help!!

Japanese sale Shane. Tannoys are sought after and at a premium there.
A pair bought from a UK seller with the cost of shipping to Japan would probably work out somewhere similar costwise.
Don't think they are even early type T27'sQuote:

And there was something dodgy about that pair. They had HPD 385 crossovers fitted for some reason.Quote:

I had the use of one for a few weeks. Used with a Decca ffss Super arm on a Goldring G99 turntable. It was a bloody good combination and gave me great listening pleasure. I look back on it with great fondness.Quote:

BIG IMF's going at a sensible price (so far). In North Yorkshire.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMF-Refere...IAAOSwKFBZtpCZ
Whats a reasonable buying price for these, around 6 or 700 ?. Sounds a sensible seller, love to hear em !
Whatever folk are willing to bid. They are too rare for a price to be pinned on them. I'd guess you may not be far out though.Quote:

Apogee Centaur Minor hybrid ribbon speakers in West London. No bids and ending in less than half an hour. £99 start price. Bargain!!

Have you seen these Tannoy Pumas Geoff - Weird they appear to have Cheviot MKII XOvers for some reason :scratch: can they work with 15's in these...?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-Pum...0AAOSwhlZZvoz8
Part of Tannoy "Big Cats" range of PA speaker's;)Quote:

The SRM 15X is essentially the same driver in a decent sized cabinet. A pair of those will likely set you back a couple of grand.

If you were interested in them, it might be best to establish that they do have the 3128 crossovers and not just the terminal plate. Although the drivers are worth a few quid anyway.
There are NO bargains on E Bay any more ;)
Tannoy Arden Mk.II. Need cone surrounds, but could go cheap. In Tunbridge. Well worth sorting out!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-Ard...53.m1438.l2649
The title is wrong by the way. These are not HPD speakers.
Harbeth Monitor 30 with stands.
Needs some TLC, one driver has been repaired.
Not a bad price- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Harbeth-Mo...EAAOSwGx1Zvl8j

It's interesting that no pics are shown of the rears where the amps apparently were. Must be quite a mess, but I guess fixable.
