I wish! I have a 4002 but 4000s are out of my price range these days.Quote:

Seen these in the flesh very weird possibly Omni design no manufacturer label on them :scratch::scratch:

Interesting speakers but he's having a laugh starting them at £950Quote:

Anything is possible, but they look manufactured to me.
I'm interested to see how much this Sony TA-88 goes for:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394437125...QAAOSwi-5j1YEg
Already up to £70 even though it is untested and sold spares or repair. I used to have one, fully working, plus two of the matching tuners that light up orange and green
Proper stuff but the amp only has 10 watts or something. I sold it for twenty notes and I think I gave the tuners away. Stupid of me.
I had a couple of those and the similarly sized Goodmans Maxamp, all boot sale jobs bought for peanuts.
Got mine out the local paper I think I paid a fiver. Some old boy having a clear-out.
That was about 1992 though, when being on a fiver an hour was considered good money. Well round here it was, anyway.
That Sony amp sold for £85
TDL RTL2 floorstanding speakers in Greenford, West London. Starting price £20, no bids yet, potential bargain.
These are good speakers. No view of the drivers, which hopefully are original and undamaged. Declon acoustic foam in ports missing (no big deal).
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255961043759
Not the most refined speakers but great VFM at a low price. The Studio series were good though.Quote:

good drivers.. guess cases could be redone
Did you see the last photos I thought it was ok until I got there! Will need some work, rosewood vinyl wrap on the top would suffice if you're not fussy.Quote:

Untested but looks all there, bids open at £29.99. In Arundel.

They look like they'll come up mint with a bit of a clean.Quote:

The Leak Stereo 30 will sound pretty dated now. Based on a design by Jack Dinsdale, it used germanium transistors.
Correct for 10 points ..Quote:

Nasty speakers for a mere £65? Described as "overall nice condition", they look as though they've been dragged out of a skip! In good condition they'd be a fiver at a boot sale.

be lucky if he gets an offer of a fiverQuote:

'Made in Norway' - got to be a story behind that. Captive speaker cable suggests they were part of a low price music centre. The fancy Sony ones didn't have captive leads on the speakers.Quote:

I know nothing about those. I bet they're decent though.Quote:

With SEAS drivers in they will be worth it.
I bet these Shure styli fetch silly money. I'm quite interested myself, but can envisage the bids shooting up, they are scarce now.

Seeing the Shure M75ED takes me back to my student days. Had one for a while before getting a Shure V15/III, which was considered to be the best available.Quote:

Nice collector's item here. Sony 5011 turntable, built by Lenco and looks like an L75 derived arm on an L72 base/platter assembly.
Looks in super condition, I'd quite like it :).

Rare and collectable Alba UA700 integrated amplifier from the early seventies. Cheap enough to be worth a tinker with, they had a reputation for good sound quality.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364173159...Cclp%3A2047675
they made tellys too. middle rd stuff tbh but stylish. no idea about their amps tho their radios were usually pretty goodQuote:

The UA700 was a budget amp, but was well reviewed back then.Quote:

S.
If I saw them in a skip I'd leave 'em there.
just curious but if you were nearby would the drivers not be worth stripping out?
I suppose it comes down to how handy you are at building speakers and also just what the drivers are. My garage and car port are already full of assorted cack that looks like it might come in handy one day. If I added those speakers to the pile Mrs. P would probably leave me, or more likely give me grief and not make me any tea.Quote:

Well they look pretty tidy, but not how I expect vintage Tannoys to look. Just look like some run of the mill reflex speakers with Tannoy badges. How much should they be?Quote:
