£764 (admittedly reduced from £850)! My copy cost me 36/6 (= £1.83) in 1967. :eek:
he states, have inspected under a magnifier and cannot find any damage. then goes on to say its jumps!!:wanker:
Do you think he has the decimal point in the wrong place
Celestion A1 speakers, £300 or offers. Bargain! They sound amazing. In Sunbury-on-Thames.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Celestion....c100290.m3507
These are rare, hardly ever seen for sale.
Somebody should grab these. They really sound great. I heard them when they first came out years ago and thought they were the best thing I'd ever heard from Celestion.Quote:

Thanks for flagging up the Tannoy 638 the other week Geoff, really thrilled with the sound. These celestion s are really tempting too but lack of dosh makes it a no no I'm afraid !Quote:

I don't remember the Yamaha NS1000s being as tall as that. :scratch:Quote:

You can read about the mods here: https://audionostalgia.co.uk/yamaha-...x-diy-project/
I’m not entirely sure I approve but I’d still like to hear them!
Ah - understood. So the NS1000s were IB designs?Quote:

I replied wishing him luck but saying I guessed that I wouldn't be buying them, he replied again with "I never thought you would"
Seems very odd to me!

Sounds like a weirdo. Best avoided.
Exactly. We're thinking of buying a pair, but want the eucalyptus finish. I was thinking maybe it was worth a punt to save a grand plus off a new pair to see what they looked like in cherry!Quote:

Looks like he has relisted the speakers .... the completed items is showing that they have already been sold ...🧐Quote:

I agree about the dumb questions, I get them constantly, I’m currently selling over 600 cds and LP’s as a job lot , one woman just couldn’t accept that I wasn’t willing to sell her a few of the cd’s.Quote:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Radford-M...d/113265117467
It's the lighting I think Don. The bass drivers are OK and the mids are just a bit wrinkled. Both use vinyl surrounds that tend not to perish, but do look wrinkled with age. Doesn't seem to affect the performance. They are Goodmans drivers.
Cheers Geoff...looks like Specsavers here I come...
a rare pioneer turntable. pa1000 arm too.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-D...kAAOSw1HpbdKsD
It may be a trick of the light or a funny camera angle effect, but that arm looks distinctly wonky to me.
I'd say so. Rotated clockwise a few degrees.Quote:

I know it effects nothing but still..
Big Altec Model 17 dual concentric speakers, in Brighton. I expect these to fetch a pretty penny. Wish I had room for them.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Altec-Lan...53.m1438.l2649
The price is going up and upQuote:

Anyone here have pockets deep enough for some vinyl?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pink-Floy....c100008.m2219
Even if it was mint (which it isn't) I wouldn't contemplate more than a tenner
probably get it or close to it. seen firsts in n mint go for moreQuote:

I expect a private deal was concluded. Let's see if they reappear soon at a high BIN price.
Decent looking pair of Tannoy Eatons in Nottingham.

More bullshit!

Looking on feedback since when did Pioneer PL12's start selling for £300...
Plenty of chancers asking silly money for almost any Hi-Fi now. Glad I got myself a decent PL-12D a while back.Quote:
