    there's only two bidders fighting it out between themselves, cos for whatever reason they want it and not a quad 306.

    It could get interesting. Daft bidding early though, I never bid until a few seconds before the end.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I'm the same myself these years, but in the past I cost myself a few bob by getting into a 1 upon 1 bidding war. a hit to the wallet is always good for shortening a learning curve...

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Gumtree Bristol Faulty Pioneer SA9100 amp and working TX9100 tuner for £50. Assuming someone could sort amp for reasonable money looks good. I really like the vintage pioneer stuff.

    Um, no longer for sale.

    I saw it and contacted the seller and told her how much the amp is worth in working order, she's looking to get it repaired.

    Sorry.

    Pair of Gale GS401 speakers for renovation. In Stamford (Stamford Audio). Look like a great project!

    I hope you haven’t now convinced her it’s worth a packet. £50 on gumtree for a broken one is about right and most tuners are worth peanuts these days. If it’s a £50 repair then great, if it’s a £200 one she’ll need to work hard to find a buyer interested in one of these to get her money back. The fact it’s on gumtree suggests it won’t be going on eBay with decent pics and a proper sales pitch, and will be exposed to a limited market. Could be tough.

    Personally I wouldn’t thank you for one. Modern stuff outclasses it on every level for less cash. There was a reason for the valve revival in the 90s - most of these Japanese solid state AB, high feedback, function-loaded integrated amps were robust enough but a total snooze fest. Main reason for high-ish values compared to a few years back (IMO) is the the younger generation think this old silver crap from before they were born looks cool in a retro living room.
