    Default 70’s high end ..

    Formica speakers

    Not sure what’s in them but I’m guessing Goodmans given that they came with a 1970’s Goodmans one ten and the cloth looks just like the cloth on the maxims .
    Good ole Formica too

    Sadly mate these only have Wharfedale drivers in them
    3010 12” woofers ( worthless )
    Purple dome tweeters
    The mids are unmarked

    The one ten receiver came in a cabinet with hidden drawers, inside the drawers were several tins of the old gramophone needles which say “ only use once “ I never knew that but it explains why there are hundreds in each tin .
    Also inside the cabinet were 2 x 4 terabyte desktop hard drives ( I wonder what’s on those )
    And a Thorens TD150 Mk II

    The speaker drive units are as model Dovedale III, were available as a kit set for a while too I believe.

    TD150II is a lovely little turnable and vastly better sounding than most might imagine. I have one.
