Haha thank you for you selfless offer, I do quite like them, im hoping the new rack (when it eventually appears) should sit a little lower and the head bookends frame the player a little betterOriginally Posted by Pigmy Pony

I'd recognise Toppsy's speaker work anywhere Lee,
the Eddingdales are crackin' in the (I think) Zebrano finish.
Loved my time with mine,
they did the rounds with Members on AOS.
Ok with not having it on Betamax nowadays

Thank you and yes they're Zebrano finish. I believe they were naturally finished but 'varnished' by the previous, original.owner. I believe he had some slight changes made in the building of yhese, though im not sure what.I'd recognise Toppsy's speaker work anywhere Lee,

Hi Lee,
Yes - 'for sale' posts are allowed, and are actively encouraged. The appropriate thread is called 'Private Exhibitions'. What we expect is a full description of what is for sale, an asking price (obviously), and some good, clear, photos of the actual item for sale (don't use images taken from the manufacturer's literature).
When the time comes for you to sell your cables, if you have any difficulties let us know and we will help you.
