Those have a rather B&O or Tandberg look to them. Got to be worth the £50!Quote:

Great thing, and very sensibly priced. Not sure how easy it'd be to fix though, if something crucial to the functioning of the control circuitry went pop....

I believe it uses the pre quartz Matsushita (Technics) motor and circuitry Marco. So maybe not too hard to sort.Quote:

Marco, don't be scared -as Geoff says the motor was used in many different models and it would be easy to find a replacement should it go bang. However I have to say I've never known one to fail and I've owned many!
On the other hand, it's not all that great a motor, although the deck looks fab. I wouldn't pay £550 for it, personally.
But it does come with an SME 3009 arm, worth about £200. So that makes ~£350 for the deck alone.
Neil was selling his slate series 3 jbe which i liked.
Is he nuts? Early Goodmans Axiette driver. £275!! For one? :eek:

I have two similar Goodmans units, but slightly smaller magnets, not bad, but not worth that sort of money in my view.Quote:

Another dead and irreparable Rega R200 arm. This guy wants £125 for it! That's more than a working one is worth (not that there are many left).

Not a bad price if you ask me.
Presumably it worked well with Empire's own cartridges. The 2000 series had a dynamic compliance of 20 - 30 cu.Quote:

Yes Grant I know they are probably overpriced but they do sound fantastic... once heard never forgotten...Quote:

I also made a pair of Voigt pipe speakers using some Fostex full range drivers which were great fun to make and to listen to..... however I still moved them on and I went back to multi driver's....
Rare and pretty good value...

Just bagged a nice pair of matched NOS 1953-vintage Russian 6N8S (6SN7) tubes, for my Copper amp: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2218811233...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/nfOLf3.jpg
These Russian Melz factory, military spec tubes are amongst the best sounding 6SN7 types available, and still reasonably priced, compared with NOS Brimars and Tung-Sols! :)

on the contrary, he should be congratulated for enterprise and endeavour. It's the pillock who buys them that needs slapping.Quote:

Marco.
Not the sellers fault. What if he needs the money for an operation or something? Pay his mortgage areas or get kicked out? If that is what they are fetching he is perfectly entitled to ask it. I'd do the same.
Would think they are more collectors items than anything tbh. Obviously as speakers they aint worth anywhere near the price but if someone wants a rarity they will pay. thats why folk pay millions for crappy pictures
I know where you're coming from, and if the guy needs the money for genuine reasons, fair enough, but I just abhor all the bullshite attached to the vulgar overpricing of some vintage gear :wanker:Quote:
