I totally agree, i'll never part with mine but £632 Bin :eek:, i think he'll be waiting quite a considerable time to sell at that price.

Mind you, if they start selling for £1000 i may change my mind... 3000k towards a new arm :lol:

These look fairly tidy and at a reasonable price with not long to run

I had a pair of 15XRs with the ABR back in the day. (My ex still uses 'em, I think . . .:rolleyes: ). Lovely speakers - warm and full sounding. The Celestion badge on the grill could rotate for when used as a "bookshelf" speaker . . . :D

Anyone fancy a "new" SP25 ?

I would have given it a spring clean if it were mine. This is the kind of lot that could go one way or the other, got it on watch for interests sake ;)

The SP25 was my first turntable; way back in 1968. I think mine was the Mk.II; from memory it looked identical to the item for sale.

Oh those were the days when you got a proper well written instruction book with photographs, not the single piece of A4 you get today. The instruction manuals for the Ferrograph reel-to-reel recorders and for the Garrard 301 turntables were hard-back books!

It might be 'new', or unused but storing it in the loft after all these years doesn't seem to have done it any good. The polystyrene inserts used to prevent the platter moving look like they have been damp traps, judging by the corrosion of the chassis.

An interesting piece of nostalgia, but I doubt if it will fetch much. But then again eBay is a crazy place and lately people will pay silly prices.

If anyone wants a couple of SP25's for nowt give me a shout. Want to clear some space in the spare room for more crap/quality hifi.

Ebay,bah.Just won a nice old B&O system on there,then the seller gets in touch,"oh,sorry,Ive already sold it and didnt realise the auction was about to end so couldnt contact you" bastards!!:steam::steam::steam::steam:
