This didn't sell for £50 but looks like it has a bid for £25 second time around - I'm glad as I love these decks!
Just in case anyone fancies bidding, the seller says it needs a new stylus and you MUST use the correct one for the track selection to work. LP Gear in the USA have originals for $120 or their own version for $40
Apparently these Tannoy CPA6, small, plastic, general purpose public address speakers are a "vintage classic" and there's "nothing better than these". What a dick. :rolleyes:

Whilst I agree the seller is overstating the case somewhat, they're not actually 'plastic general purpose public address speakers'. They are actually Tannoy-badged versions of the GLL Arena speakers that were originally designed as a 5.1 channel setup with a passive subwoofer.
These have GLL's ICT driver and a solid moulded cabinet and are surprisingly capable.
I know they use an ICT driver. Those are OK, but I've not found them wonderful, having had a couple of pairs of Imagios. I didn't know the CPA6 was part of a 5.1 system, I thought it was used in a similar context to the 'i' series (some of which also have tacky plastic boxes, with awful colourations, like the i6).
The eBay listing is nonsense nonetheless.
But they're a "vintage classic" :)
these were reputed to be good

Hehehe… That’s the bit that matters, and what makes doing all the rest worthwhile! ;)
Let’s face it, modifying T/Ts (of any description) isn’t exactly new - we’ve been upgrading the likes of PSUs, tonearms, mats and plinths on T/Ts for years. Look how much, for example, the LP12 has changed since it was first introduced. Compared with a new one, I don’t think there’s much (if anything) left of the original!
The same (even more so) could be aimed at Regas, and various other T/Ts, so it’s not only Techies that folks replace things on from standard :)
