It's a power inverter from a TV or Monitor.

You’ve got to love the sheer diligence of some folk in wording their ads to make sure that what’s for sale is crystal clear, and thus most likely to sell! :mental:

Before Stuart Tyler created Proac he had a setup called Celef which produced a beautiful little speaker that seems largely forgotten now, the Celef Monitor. I'll be interested to see what these go for:

The resistive port using drinking straws was a particularly clever bit of design.
I have seen several EMTs advertised for sale with photographed taken outside. Usually they are EMT 950s and are photographed outdoors because they are very large pieces of kit. The fact that this particular 948 TT is phographed outdoors doesn't bother me.
Nor does the amount of carriage being charged. EMT decks are precision pieces of kit. I would expect the seller to provide adequate packaging - and transportion by air is not neccessarily cheap. I bought an EMT 930 from a seller in Hungary. He frequently sold ex-broadcast TTs and knew how to pack them. Mine arrived at Stanstead arirport in a massive air-freight wooden packing case with canvas straps. I believe I paid over £250 for the carriage.
Regarding the scam postings with an e-mail as the second and subsequent image - well I haven't seen that before. The EMT 948 listing I commented on didn't have that - if it did I would certainy regard it with suspicion. I'm surprised eBay allows such dubious posting to be made.

ebay are lazy and dont really care. i complained about a set of cables that had postage of nearly 800 quid on them which is obviously just a way of avoiding charges and as buyer had to pay for return post they were not goi!g to get many retyrns. ebay did nothing.! another reason why i use them less and less.
I know its not classic & its not "hifi" but for anyone after a really nice sounding yet discrete AV setup look no further: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ego-home-t...item3a9bea30eb
May go cheap due to the misspelt title [should be Aego] & high p&p, I have asked & they are happy to use a cheaper parcel broker ;)
