Think I paid about £50 for mine, mint with original user/servicing booklet.



Now, this is much more interesting, but not at that price:

I tried my "new" late production (well over 100***) 33 last weekend and was impressed with it at first until the penny dropped that the sound was all superficial. All the little musical cues so easily reproduced through the AVI and Croft were either diluted or missing. Dada do a refurb kit which replaces all the electrolytics and raises the rail voltage to 16V. Does anyone have experience of this? I doubt I'll go the Net Audio route as the 33 wasn't ever intended for a main system, but a cap overhaul seems a good idea, although the electrolytics look fine.

Na not Superficial.. Influence is a bad thing Dave

The other 33 had all it's Elco caps swapped for the superb Panasonic 'FC'..If you can live without the switch on the '33' volume pot, a pot change is a vast improvement..I prefer to keep all original functions & just enjoy if i can..

I'm toying with the Dada cap kit, which replaces those old ERO/Elco (or similar) caps B&O and Naim used by the hundred and raises the rail voltage to 16V (which seems a good thing on the face of it, although I'm suspicious tbh). The thing was serviced in 1982 (when it was under 5 years old) and it looks as though the volume pot and some mother-board dry joints were attended to.

Like you, I love the appearance of the 33/FM2/FM3, which was completely overshadowed in the 70's "bling" era.....

Is being a "grump kunt", spelt with a 'k', the same as being one spelt with a 'c'?
