I recently re-built a Mk.II it cost me me around £500.00 & that's doing it myself but at the end of he day i'm mega fussy :).. regardless im claiming it to be the best fettled 'F307' .. i don't show it or let silly wnkerz into my home so take my word they are ace, & i mean that.. ok ;) So much my newly designed recurd deck wil be the very match in heaven. :eyebrows: I aint been quiet for noffink :D

Hi Andr'e, good to hear from you.

Any chance of a photo of the innards of your newly fettled F307?

Beautiful Hartley 24" woofer in USA. That would definitely make an interesting sub. Postage steep though.

Looks like that woofer can whack you in the belly with bass!

'White van man' speakers. These literally used to be sold out of the backs of vans in supermarket carparks and the odd layby by dodgy looking characters. There were warnings in the Hi-Fi press about avoiding these at all costs.

Yes, I remember these ''White Van Man'' Speakers. Sadly, never heard one! Do they sound decent Geoff?

Yes, I heard some bloke using them to play records he was flogging at a boot sale. All I can say about the sound is that they were working.

You've got to love a speaker with it's own heat-sink - lovely.
There's an article in The Knowledge about Hartley

Decent looking pair of first series Celestion Ditton 15 speakers (with the HF1300 tweeters), badges missing but still nice. Very musical speakers these. Price is fair for nowadays too.
