'Engine does not start' but I think that should be okay as long as you're not planning to drive it anywhere.
Could be a fuse but bit too pricey for a punt
was hoping it was a campervan:D
Probably just needs an oil change and a couple of spark plugs...Quote:

My thoughts are that the brush painted doping sounds better than the sprayed doping, it possibly breaks up the resonances better.
That's quite likely: brushed doping will not be so uniform as spray doping, so will probably dampen more harmonics.Quote:

Possible KEF went the same way as B&W, they started spraying their cones after a few years. I had some of their DW200 drive units from the DM4 and the later ones were definitely spray doped.
(the DM4 is not a patch on the Corelli by the way :))
I have two pairs of Corelli here, just looked at one pair, definitely brush painted B200's, but neatly done so, almost so neat as almost spray looking.Quote:

My early B&W DM2's have brushed doping, but later DM2's (and DM2a's) that I have look spray doped. My early DM4's are brush doped, not sure about my later ones, can't get to them! but I think they are spray doped.
I'll have to have a look at my B&W DM2a speakers.
Just been given a cassette deck (Sansui something-or-other, don't know until I go and get it). Perhaps I should have gone back to cassettes sooner with bargains like this about. And free postage!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166242369...Bk9SR-T8m6WwYg
All the Sansui cassette decks were nice quality, some were very good.
I don't imagine this one will be much cop, it belonged to my youngest brother, who never spent a lot on that kind of thing. Anyway, I'll have to find a tape or two to test it. All my cassette tapes went years ago.
I think there be a whole set of Sansui separates if memory serves.
see if you can get the lot!Quote:

still got a tape separate upstairs and tapes etc.. its a drawer front loading denon.
Think the best all round I had was a Teac, can't recall for sure the model (A-360?), but it was the one below the A-450. Had a few Tandbergs too.
Had a Sony machine (can't recall the model) which allowed me to make recordings which were as good as those I used to make on my Ferrograph reel-to-reel machine.
The Sony was later replaced by Nakamichi machines which I had calibrated for TDK MA tape. Made about 100 recordings with them, mostly off the radio.
Still have the two machines as well as the tapes (somewhere).
Still have a few cassette tape decks, some the belts have gone (turned to goo) still working are Tandberg TCD 300, Pioneer CT? (fairly basic), JVC KD21D, JVCKD10 and a very early basic Sony (top loader). The most used was the JVC KD21D, although an inexpensive machine, with the right tape, recordings were excellent, better than the TCD300.
This is the tape deck I had in the early 80s. Got it for £99 in an end-of-line sale, funded by part of the money I'd saved to buy an engagement ring :( For a couple of years i had no t/t, just this for recordings off the radio and some pre-recorded tapes. i still think it looks pretty cool, and I've no idea what happened to it.
It had something called ANRS/Super ANRS, which was sort of like Dolby NR IIRC.

The fluorescent level meters look the same as were fitted on my Sony machine, including the highest maximum level segments of the two rows momentarily remaining.
Good looking deck that is. Can't fault JVC don't think they ever made a bad separate component.
That's exactly what they did Barry, they hung about for a split second. I liked that feature.Quote:

worse than scruffy Geoff, its TAT!!!
The Douglas Bader of hifi. A bit unrealistic to expect legs on it at that price.
And it does include the legendary SP25 turntable, from the same people who created the £32k gem mentioned earlier :) I bet it would give my old BSR McDonald MP60 a run for its money.
This one looks way cooler.

Ok, if the lack of legs is putting you off, there's this one:Quote:

Wharfedale E50 speakers in what could be Dynatron cases or similar. In Staffordshire.
Says not working properly, could just be dirty pots. Look potentially in good condition.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305083572...ndition=4%7C10
These are a sort of 'poor man's JBL'.
drivers look okay from what you can see, as long as that's true then it's an easy fix. Tamworth's a fair stretch from me though.Quote:

if you're down in the west country, still be a bargain at three times the price:

I wish I had the space for more big loudspeakers:

£850!
Paid £175 for mine and it doesn't have those scratches. Okay that was a few years ago but I can't believe they have risen in value that much.
It is Audio Gold in Crouch End selling the amp....looks like they're scrapping the barrel by selling high on eBay....bless their cotton socks....Tulip range good, but not at that price....

It's a good pre-amp (using mine right now), has a ton of features and it looks good too. Total antithesis of the modern bland/minimalist stuff.Quote:

I had that set. Well made, but nothing special soundwise.Quote:

Just spotted these NOS 'Vernitron' MM cartridges on ebay. I seem to recall these and a Sonotone version, they were based on a Goldring design, G800 maybe? Look like a good investment for anybody wanting to give MM carts a whirl for not much money.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204550136...Bk9SR6Df0veVYw
And, a rare vintage ADC 660EX cartridge looking decent and in the UK. Induced magnet design and suited to MM inputs. ADC made some of the best sounding non-MC cartridges ever.

Interesting Micro Seiki MR-111 belt drive turntable in Manchester. It was a high quality budget job, on a par with the Pioneer PL-12D, but much rarer. Nice little item!
