Indeed. Pretty much as a rule their vinyl is overpriced, marked up as Ex/Ex regardless of the actual condition.

But £425 for a pair of 12in Tannoy DCs in good nick with hardwood stands is not bad ...

The GA 202 and GA 212 were well liked and well reviewed back in the seventies! Good MM cartridges in the complementary GP series too.

They run 3128 12in dual concentric drivers, so should sound pretty decent. Will need a few watts up them but a Quad 405 or upwards should be ample.

Nice speaker that shouldn't need any fettling like a really old vintage one would. Pricey in their day (mid 80s IIRC).

I'm using 3128 Tannoys. They're pretty efficient, ten watts is more than enough for the average room. Even my little 4 watt 6V6 amp drives them OK.

I do agree, however at one time they might’ve been priced at £25, brought in by some old dear (without a scooby what they were), who’s husband had just died, etc - and where the shop also didn’t know any better!

These days, unfortunately, the majority of charity shops are all too ‘clued up’ on the stuff that’s worth money, and thus priced accordingly…

Wow they are rare these days Tom. Good sounding speaker those..

I don't think I'll be bothering any of the charity shops around here looking for speakers like that.

Pair of KEF T27s described as great condition, but the domes are stuffed! :rolleyes:

Yes, a bargain. I'm almost tempted myself.
