That is tasty. Going to go for a fair whack too by the bidding.
Yeah defo Martin, thought exactly the same - 31 bids from 15 bidders so far and still just under 5 days to go :eek:Quote:

Quality.
Was looking at old Diamonds on eBay the other day. Tidy ones have held their value well.
Bargain? Ten full range drive units in the West Country. Vintage Eagle PA speakers that I'm fairly certain contain FR8 drivers, which were actually 8" full range Coral drivers. Very rare now and extremely good, better than the sought after Philips 9710M. Collect only. If these were local to me, I'd keep quiet and nab them for myself :).

My telefunkens drivers were used in a church array. Got 7 of 10" drivers still. Really good drivers and these look to be of similar quality
WOW!

How could I have missed this?

Especially as it went for only £250! :eek:Quote:

Given that's the case, I've heard the best tape decks outperform some CDPs. Also, when applied to car audio, the better ones piss all over anything digital!:)
Marco.
Disagree. With a top deck, top quality metal tape and a lot of care results can be 'acceptable' at best. Compact cassette is fundamentally compromised as a medium. More so even than vinyl. There'll be an Edison wax cylinder revival next. Followed by people walking about with minstrels in tow. Some things best left in the past but nostalgia appears to be a powerful tweak.Quote:

The turntable is a Philips possibly GA202, quite nice, but not worth a fortune. The speakers are goodness knows what and the Quad bits speak for themselves.Quote:

Goodness knows what an unmolested TD124 will fetch these days, prices are getting silly. Upwards of £850 maybe?Quote:

I see we're thinking along the same lines Mike. :)
Ah, a tad over maybe. It's about 20 miles from me. May message them and ask if they'd sell the arm separately. Cheers. :)
Yip, I'd have liked to have said less but market has been up and up on these TTs latelyQuote:

A good little Dab system , and small studio monitors , I would have thought !! ( if you are in the Stoke area)
“I've had it in storage since I purchased it so am not sure if it's working or not”
Call me a cynic, but I’ll have a tenner on ‘Not Working’!

(Is the "seller refurbishment" the adhesive tape covering what looks like the wiring to some of the drive units? I don't remember seeing anything like that on the ones I heard back in the '70s.)
I think the 'refurbishment' was new surrounds on the bass drivers. The sticky tape, I've seen before and think it may have been original.
Well, I had assumed that the tape hanging off was the seller's attempt at refurbishing! I suppose at the time those were a current model no-one removed the grilles,
I've seen similar tape on other AR models. Presumably to stop the fine wires getting snagged, it does seem crude though.
Not met reserve again !. Hardly talks them up, me thinks, which could be good or bad thing I suppose. Overhauled at Wembley loudspeakers he states.
Strange way to sell, price for one but Clearly you need two ?. Eyes and wool arrange the words anyway you wish.
Double apologies as it's not eBay and not hi-fi but I really do fancy this!
