That set up would have cost a bomb when new. I love the look of that era Sony.
looks like the same set up as in the cabinet in the picture below the amp on that tvk website. Does Look very nice if you like the vintage look as I do.Quote:

And this one is incomplete. Can anybody see what's missing?
There are some pageants not too far from me that I am tempted to offer on - well it is my birthday tomorrow and the wife hasn't bought me anything! Are there any particular issues to look out for?Quote:

That's a very reasonable price anyway. I doubt they'll be available long.Quote:

£40 is a fair price.
That's what I just offered!
anywhere near you mate?Quote:

always liked these. pity about the dent
I was looking at these yesterday, I have no idea how they sound but I thought they looked great, unfortunately they look so good generally that the dent really jars.Quote:

Yup. It's a nice unit that works fine, but the arm needs fettling or replacing.Quote:

just had my offer of £40 for those Pageant Series 2 accepted, won't be able to pick up for a couple of days but looking forward to having a play on the weekend. Hopefully will work well with the other 70's stuff I have.
Here is something a bit special..collect only alas. could be worth a punt
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ADC-Direct...p2056016.l4276
Hmm might have a punt on that, close enough to drive to, 40min according to Google.Quote:

That was the LMF-2 arm I believe, with carbon fibre headshell. Suited to highish/medium compliance cartridges. The plinth was a little 'plasticky' if I recall. I think it uses the Technics Matsushita DD motor common to many Technics TTs. Not sure if it's the same as the SL-1200, might be.Quote:

The whole thing is very like my HMV /ADC TT. Except for the straight arm , mine is S shaped , which , forgive an noob's observation , is downright much more sexy looking!!

And the plinth will be thin plastic , cant see it being much good
Yes. They were no doubt from the same factory. As were some of the last BSR turntables.
A real rarity. Fidelity Research FRT-4 SUT. Not cheap at £500, but if it exceeds the performance of the very good FRT-3, it may be worth it.

If they sell for that, think it will be a record price.Quote:

I love EL34 amps. They always have something a little bit special. My Class A EL34 monos sound bloody amazing! (must plug 'em in again actually)Quote:

I have taken an internal shot of both speakers, I was very careful not to damage the screw heads and used an exact fitting screw driver.
One b110 driver has date code for 74, the other 75, this would have been the norm, as these pre-date the speakers as they came out in 1976, meaning Rogers would have used mearurement-matched drivers from their stock and not consecutive numbers, and often not from the same batch.
Nice NAD. Wonder what it sounds like. 3020 with power meters?

Well, here's the Aiwa version of that Uher mini system, £50 which it will probably stay at I'm guessing.
