The only item there that would interest me would be one of the Studer A80-RC reel-to-reel machines.
And possibly the modified Quad AM8/16 (to add to my collection of Quad gear), or a pair with the Rogers LS5/8 speakers.

and a defib in case you have a shock at all that kit !!
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

Reams of text again!
Why the fook couldn't they have created a pdf, listing all the gear in proper categories? Too lazy, no doubt, that's why... So I gave up reading all the jumbled up words after the first few sentences, much as I do posts here without paragraphs! Oh and some pics of the gear for sale [just a few selective ones] wouldn't have hurt either, to 'cheer things up'.
Much like we always say here about placing ads in our classifieds section: if you want stuff to sell, then PUT IN THE REQUIRED EFFORT, to tempt potential buyers, in order to for that to happen!

I'd be interested to hear the LS 5/8s, but A.S. denigrates them. I also agree that the listing is terrible and typical of lazy powerful organisations wit big egos. You can also guarantee that the stuff has done a lot of work and will be worse for wear.

Who, or what is "A.S"?
Agree about the listing, but is it a fault of the BBC or does the fault lay with the auctioneers?

A.S = Alan Shaw of Harbeth, whom I believe is someone that Dennis admires and rates.
No idea who's fault the listing is - but whoever it should be shot!

Indeed, on both counts. It's almost as if they think they've done you a favour by mentioning it, and so should be grateful!
They can't even spell 'Bayerdynamic'.....

Nothing to see here, load of old rubbish, can't be bothered to look through the badly written text
