what do you guys think of this lot?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quad-ESL57...item19cb239bea
seller lives nearby... very tempting
Speakers may need some work as not serviced anytime recently according to the Q and A
You can pick up a 303 on it's own for £100-£150, the 33 pre is well dated now...I wouldn't pay more than £500 the lot absolute tops.
As above, they are about on the money now with no service history
Cheers guys, i'm not too familiar with quad gear but interesting to see this come up near my neck of the woods. Be keen to see what it goes for...
Would you buy from a gorilla?
Quads, gorilla, County Durham, :scratch: all makes perfect sense now....:cool:Quote:

Me, I've put my Dada updated 33 with the 303 in the office and it sounds fab to me, on vinyl too (I've kept the 68K phono loading)Quote:

Any info on this £25 worth of fettling?? I fancy a crack at this on one of my 33's
