Well, that's a B&W badge on the back - Sony sold rebadged DM1's (I have a pair) and DM3's I believe - however, these don't look like DM3's now I look again - I thought they might be DM5's - but the bass driver looks too high - so I'm not sure now, but they are definitely rebadged B&W's - interesting. :scratch:

Anyone else got a clue? (They're not D5's either, the driver is too high in the baffle on D5's I think. They don't look deep enough to be DM4's. Confused, I am, but will be fun playing with this little lot!)

Just for comparison - here are the Sony's from the auction:

Here are a pair of D5's - you can see the similarity on the back and the label:

Oh, well spotted! That badge definitely came from them. You'll need to do some investigation, perhaps it's a common driver set in a slightly different configuration.

Says this is a "pair of 2". That would be four?

Do you think they're trying to catch someone out?

"Technics 1200 - MK2 motor, main board screws."

Are they selling the main board and motor, or just the screws?

$19 courier fee, plus buyer pays postage on returns?

Hope I'm not being too cynical in my old age......:)
