Say's he's keeping one so has another up a sleeve somewhere (don't know why, but I'm imagining a sleeve of a Noel Coward style dressing gown, as if he lives in a small manor house..) .
André said it was one he was on the lookout for a while back.

Linlithgow is an upper crust area on the whole although not in its entirety. A lot of rich folk live there as well as aspiring ones lol. the older part has a lot of normal council houses. my sis in law used to teach in the high school. of course it was originally the Scottish capital too.
Pretty sure Ive met the guy before. he used to have lots of top tape machines.
heres a couple of speaker drivers

I had those on my 'watch list' for a few days They're quite nice. I wonder who actually manufactured them, Fane, Wharfedale? Could even be Baker or Richard Allan, the chassis lugs are in their style.Quote:

No bearings other than a sharp point and easy to re-wire, I'd take the latter-priced ones and do it myself.
Cheers Sam. wasn't sure if it was that or the export version tbh. not knowing much about them apart from them being good arms. It was on a tt and had a cart on too. Think it will be slightly overpriced then unless its been rewired or the cart is really good.....not that I need a deck tbh. Might look out for one or a mission though as a changeQuote:

I just got outbid on that. That's mad for a cassette, it's not even a first issue :scratch:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KING-CRIMS...vip=true&rt=nc
And yet all the charity shops refuse to take in cassettes because they say they're worthless and they're forced to recycle them which is expensive (or some pish)..Quote:

Yep & certain two in our own town & the city only have new edition paperback on the shelves, they won't stock in old 60's paperback editions cos they look old & maybe think people don't want them. So wrong they are but if they want the shop to look like W.H Smiths fine, but i feel these charity shops are loosing it.Quote:

Wasn't too bad a deal with the Thorens TD160 and the Ultimo cart for it's BIN, perhaps not a massive bargain but ok.Quote:

They kind of can't make up their minds as to what their purpose is ...Quote:

Probably a front for MI6 ... run a "drop shop" in the back room for spies.
Not a bad cover actually, for criminals too.. drop off a bulging bin liner full of loot or money to be "cleaned" and no suspicion, just a couple of old ladies chatting about their ailments.
These Philips 9710m drivers have been collecting bids steadily. Up to £115.08 at the moment and finishing soon. I reckon there'll be a few mad bids at the end.
These are OK, but have stained cones. A couple of years ago, you'd get a mint pair for under £50. They've been appreciating rapidly.

Glad I've got a pair of good ones in nice period corner cabinets.
Very overpriced Tannoy DC200 speakers. These are an early version of the tulip waveguide design and are without doubt the worst Tannoy dual concentrics I've heard. Dull, flat, two dimensional and badly coloured. Avoid!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Vinta...item27ff1cca83
Here's a rarity. LNB Para-Lab-Super speakers. They are a compact transmission line design and use a 6.5" bass unit (Goodmans maybe) with a KEF T27 tweeter. Years ago I was given an extensive demo of these by the designer and maker and was surprised how good they were.

The seller says: " I am open to sensible offers on these and set the starting price high to gauge interest - I am not expecting to get the starting price for these"Quote:

....but you repainted them and put it on yourself! I could put the same "detailing" on a thorens too and it wouldn't be any less original than the recreated detailing on these! duh!Quote:
The Mk3D series also have unique detailing in that the brand and model label is printed in a single line instead of two, a detail retained when making these turntables.
