I do believe some of you are already considering contravening the rules:

Thanks for that Chris! Yes, you're right - a new challenge so new acquisitions, please!
Another thought - to make it fair, the cost of postage shouldn't be included - that way it evens out the geographic oddities of someone finding something perfect that they can pick up locally, whereas someone else from another part of the country would have to pay for shipping.
Sounds like a few people will be up for this - let the bargain hunting begin!

I'm openingabottleofwine.
I am slightly confused by the 'rules and conditions' being set for this competition.
It would seem, on the face of it, that Mike (BTH K10A) has come up with a winning combination (his post seems to have been deleted
Similarly I could suggest the following system:
Revox G36 (736) reel-to-reel recorder £25
Rotel RA-921 25w/ch integrated amplifier £0 (I was given it)
Bowers and Wilkins DM2a speakers £50 a pair
leaving £25 for cabling.
However this combination is invalid because I no longer have the tape recorder and I have given the amp to a friend; so such a system cannot be demonstrated.
