Interesting. If I didn't already have 7 decks to play with I may take a drive over to Stowmarket (the new Stanton needles are £9 each & the Technics headshells are worth a tenner each so the decks are free!)Quote:

This guy must be tough on his kit.
3 faulty marantz items for sale - could be cheap for a fix up if someone is brave..

Nope - cheap junk not fit to wear the Sony name and with an arm that's too long to allow some cartridges to achieve correct tracking angle with the standard headshell - AVOID!Quote:

Not a matched pair? One is 8 ohms, the other 16 ohms (maybe that's why they sound different?)
Wish I had the money....fuck it!!
Anyway, I've always liked these.

I see 'bigears-audio' seems to be getting a bit greedy. £775 for a pair of Tannoy Eatons!
They have what look like spatter marks on one cone and glue marks on the other cone, both of which are a bit faded and the grille cloth is non original by the look of it. I sold a tidier pair on eBay not long ago for £390, which was about the right price.

These look as though they've been partly doped with bituminous material, probably to damp the coarseness. The bass driver may be a KLH or AR unit by the look of it, probably decent enough. I'd give these a miss though.
Good speakers thos '303's
I was initially drawn to them as they reminded me of AR4xa's... If the cabinets were the same colour & they were local I'd try them but with that p&p I'll leave it to someone else.
You really ought to publish all this knowledge in a book Geoff, I'd probably buy a copy :lol:
The '303AX' were the later version James.
The AR4XA are a far better bet and you'd get a pair for about the same money. There've been a few pairs on eBay recently. I had some running with a Rogers Ravensbrook amp not that long ago and the combination sounded very sweet. The AR4XA is a very durable speaker, the doped cloth surround bass drivers just never seem to pack in and the little AR paper cone tweeter sounds decent. Don't forget, these were rated at 100 watts, even back then (early seventies).
KLH Model 9 is worth a look too.
:thumbsup: I got a *mint* pair of 4xa's locally from a retired BBC engineer for £5 a couple of years back, used them with a Marantz 2215b now that was a sweet little system I'd like to put back together !
Wouldn't mind trying a pair of 4xa's!! But they will have to be fitted with modern speaker terminals though!! I notice the 4xa's have a switch for increase etc, what does that do?
Much the same as MS Pageants, you can boost or cut the high frequencies. I recapped mine with Soviet PIO caps... Gawd they sounded silky smooth.
You should keep a second set of speaker cables just for old/oddball speakers, I've got some Van Damme 0.75mm that fits every vintage amp/receiver/speaker perfectly although only just in some cases !
Is cutting the high frequencies with these switches a good thing?Quote:

Quite often you'll see those models for sale with no output from the mids or tweeters usually its just the rheostats are knackered.

looks like one of their earlier models - what do you think??
this looks good, but its pickup only and NO BOX:doh:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2612883466...84.m1438.l2649
another nice piece

Think its a Pass design, home builtQuote:

Thanks for the feedback, have some local guy selling them cheap, might be worthy for the drivers alone.
