More like 33 years ago.. It's in bad condition but if you don't mind loosing all the printing on the front it could be refinished.. You never see the matching '730' pre amps turn up tho!

I've been looking for a portable DAB radio, mainly to keep me occupied in the kitchen with BBC 6 Music. I just got a Pure Evoke 1S, which is going for £57 incl. P&P (manufacturer refurbished, 'as new' condition). RRP is £99.

Damn - I've got one I need to get shot of but it doesn't look like it's worth that much!

Always fancied one of these

But the old Hackers are still surprisingly usable

Hacker, Roberts and B&O made some wonderful sounding portable radios. Wouldn't touch the new digital radios with a barge pole!

More nutty pricing. Ditton 22 speakers at £349? the guy's taking the piss! A very clean pair may just be worth £50 as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't want them anyway, but I expect sooner or later some dummy will buy them.

Do they use the same bass units as used on the MS Pageants?

Crazy pricing indeed, I sold my good[ish] condition 33's for £120 & that was in a 99p start auction, no reserve & willing to ship worldwide... I guess those 22's may fetch around £70 in a similar situation.

Interesting! SL-1210 with Mission 774 arm and KAB power supply. Sensibly priced for 'The Emporium' too.

Postage price alone will put most off. Although most sellers are happy to let the buyer arrange a courier if asked....

Here we go again. Watch the bidding go silly on these Goodmans Maxims. Already up to £101 and half a day or so to go, bet some loon pays about £300.

It's not that long since I used to get these at boot sales for about £3 a pair. They're not exactly brilliant anyway.

I've actually got the magnet of a Whiteley Stentorian HF1016 speaker for that purpose. Ever heard of one? Many on AOS will have.

No, not heard of those. Any good?.... Magnets are handy for such tasks though

Look nice but how do those EMI's compare with the LF drivers made by B&W in other models from the DM series ?

There's not much wrong with the EMI drivers. I used them a number of times in various projects. B&W added damping pads to the 10x6 driver in the DM1 in order to address a minor beak up mode. They didn't do the same to the 13x9 unit used inthe DM3.

I thought you'd know :D

Would like to try some some DM3's in nice condition [which seems rare!]

I have a pair of DM1's in rosewood, and despite the cluttering in my house I'm tempted to get these aswell, they're a real bargain, these speakers are very nice indeed and I'll never part with mine! Can't understand how they're always flying under the radar, them being the 1st monitor model from B&W, this from a collector's pov. :scratch: :stalks:

Curious as to how they sound.

Correct! - the man with no friends! You're a hard man Andre. You're a hard man.

Huge Vitavox speakers, just listed with 99p start. Watch these go through the roof! Any bets as to the final selling price?

I reckon around £5k (assuming they have the right drive units in). You could probably run these on about five watts of SET valves and get a great sound.
