I found out today my dad used to own these 20 years ago and sold them for £130 - :eek::eek:
Pye HF/8 from 1956
Selling by HI-FI House for the guy dad sold them too - the Yamaha NS 18's were dads too :eek:

The height of my dad's listening (at least at the height of my embarrassed-adolescent phase) was a tape of Shep's Banjo Boys in his Ford Capri ... claimed to be a jazz lover but didn't like 'that modern stuff' basically anything conceptually after about 1928 ... of course the British trad jazz revival was what he grew up into.
You thinking about bidding for nostalgia's sake?
heres a saving and probably worth every penny...
