WTD - Tandberg TR-1055 Receiver

[hagzo]

Looooooong shot cause I can't remember seeing one of these for sale anywhere else but Scandinavia, the US or Germany......

I'm looking for one of these dual-mono babes to compare against a wonderful 1040 that I've got

Must be in close to mint condition with undamaged wood

Please someone sell or point me in the right direction for one - Mrs isn't interested I either of us visiting Norway!

Cheers 68, I've got a 1040 already but ive got an itch to try the bigger brother.

Well they are the same but the 1040 has no presets.

1055 has 20 watts more than the 1040's 40 watt output.

The 1040 doesn't have enough oomph to rock the speakers I hope to use with it.

O right sorry i thought they were the same apart from the presets.. Is it just the power amp section you are wanting then Keith?

I have just checked Ebay and there is one that has been serviced but it is in the USA

Here’s one on Finn.no I found it via hifishark.com but it’s a lot more money

They look very nice especially the one in Finland

PS thanks for the replies guys.

@eldarvanyar: Thanks for the pictures - that example is mighty fine. I had spied that on the shark and initially felt 500 notes was a little too much. However when balanced against the condition and previous sales on the continent, it seems about right. The trouble is getting it here from Finland from a guy that i don't know......don't get me wrong i don't condone ebay but it does provide a level of comfort and recourse. The american one looks good too but i'm unsure if the power can be internally switched from 110v to 230v/240v, and I would prefer not to have further work done to it.

@1968: The 1040 has space on the board to take the additional caps for an upgrade but i wanted to compare the RIAA against the TR-1010 & TR-1040 i've got and i also wanted the ability to pull the preamp and amp jumpers to try it with active speakers.

........the search is on to cure the itch.
