Don't think there are any Mullard repros of this valve?
In any case even real Mullards are not worth that much.
ah... maybe not then. I've never used that valve before anyway. Looks like a nice little amp for someone though, no idea what the guts are like though.

Yes, most likely a nice wee amp.Quote:

Rare Celestion UL8 speakers, these superseded the Ditton 15XR and are rather good. In Sheffield, cheap and ending very soon!

Possibly one of the finest speaker designs by KEF...very rare!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KEF-REF-10...item58bdf7988e
They were EMI midrange units with extra coating applied to the paper cone.Quote:

Cheap pair of Grifferz there

I had a pair, I didn't like them particularly. The sound was a little unrefined. The ordinary IMF compact was better balanced, but not wonderful either.Quote:

Why would you bother when the best modern examples are so superior (one area where real progress has been made in audio), unless sourcing specific NOS speaker plugs and sockets for a specific make of vintage amp? :)
Marco.
Crazy people out there. A pair of early seventies KEF Cresta speakers selling at £255! Why?
They are nasty sounding little things, the crude crossover does them no favours and they don't even have matching bass drivers.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kef-Cresta...vip=true&rt=nc
They look horribly cheap to me. I'm not into foo but it always seems wise to make joins and solid as possible. (This was about the plugs and sockets of course)
He mentioned the magic formula - LS35A - 101s might almost have been worth it but Crestas???? One rather pleased seller I suspect.Quote:

I could certainly use some smaller old style banana plugs of around 3mm diameter. Regular 4mm are too big for one application I have in mind.Quote:

Marco.
Because the Belling Lee silver plated speaker plugs are actually very good and I doubt that there are any modern speaker plugs that are significantly betterQuote:

However bear in mind your looking at over £100.00 before you start for part exchanging the Idler Wheels & Pinch Roll..
