Monitor Audio R852MD speakers with rare original stands. Later gold dome version. A few minor marks, but look all original.
Well liked speakers and getting harder to find these days. £30 start and no bids yet, could be a bargain. In Ware, Herts.

It might be "junk", but it is the only Denon DD turntable to interest me. I would remove the arm and replace it with something better.Quote:

Damn, that didn't work! Please ignore... Or if anyone can be bothered, it's a pair of MA BR1 speakers on Ebay at about 60 quid, with veneer peeling on one. I wanted to know if that would be fixable or should I just avoid.
not showing up as a page mate:D
Yes!Quote:

see what you mean about the veneer.
Yeah, pretty grim eh? Anyway, decided not to bother - I'm currently trying to save for a new stylus for my 2m Black cart (which has about 500 hrs on it), and this what happens, my plan gets derailed by other stuff I really don't need. I am the world's worst saver :(Quote:

Once that starts lifting there's no way back really. It all has to come off and real wood veneer used instead, which invariably never happens as vinyl is usually used on cheap speakers that are not really worth the bother.
Yes I see what you mean. Maybe I'll just hold out for something from their "R" series (R152 etc). I used to have a pair of the R352s back in the 80s, loved them and shouldn't have got rid of them. Proper VENEER too :)Quote:

Lecson HL1 horn speakers. Pretty rare these days. Working, but need TLC. Bids start at £80 or BIN. £175. Bit of a bargain!! Barnet, North London.

I was looking at a pair years ago but reviews put me off. Think it was cheap (shouty?) drivers or diffuse sound.

I have seen them in the flesh a couple of times, but not heard any.Quote:

That's probably realistic these days, they aren't scarce. I've had several and sold my last one to a mate for £25 about eight years ago. They are an exceptionally nice sounding little amp.Quote:

These big JVC speakers look like fun, could be cheap. In Barnsley.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363725698....c101113.m2108
Ruark Swordsman speakers with stands £79 and no bids, sale ends shortly. in Gosport. Bit of a bargain if you include the value of the stands.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363725395...53.m1438.l2649
My first thought was "I wouldn't mind them". Then I looked for Gosport. 256 miles from Chorley, so that's not happening.Quote:

I seem to recall the 801 was well regarded. Beefy dual power supply job!Quote:

Won't ship either which makes the asking price even sillier.

Yup!Quote:

An Akai M8 reel-to-reel tape machine, but it's a four track, and I have got rid of all my four-track machines, and don't use tape any more.
Anybody need 'subwafer' cables? :)

Here's a rather strange and hard to believe skip related story:
Last week my next door neighbour asked if he could chuck an old telly in my skip, save him a trip to the tip, Course he could, I said. We get on great - I get his read "What Hifi" and "Hifi Choice" mags, and he gets my Which? magazine :)
But then a few days later he got an email from Amazon acknowledging some films he'd rented through his Prime Video account. Which he hadn't. Turns out the order had been made via his TV (the one in my skip, which has since mysteriously vanished!) Amazon recognised this scam as a thing that is happening these days, and waived the invoice.
There seems to be no limit to the resourcefulness and bare faced cheek of modern-day scumbags.
He must be made of money if he can just skip a working telly.
I was imagining it was one of those old wooden cased things from the 1970s not a modern smart TV.
Round here all they chuck out is really crappy Argos furniture and old mattresses. If you look in the entries there'll always be at least two mattresses.
Soon they'll become so advanced that they will be able to steal your DNA off the mattress and clone another you.
They're welcome to clone me it will teach them a lesson.

Anyways in 30 odd years living round here I've never once seen anything in a skip that was worth anything.
My mate in London finds valuable antiques just lying by the kerb, on a regular basis this is. He found a fire surround once, got three hundred for it.
If someone could clone me I'd certainly have a copy - I could send it out to work while I get to stay home and play me records.Quote:
