I'm Alex.
Not a million miles from me. Will be good for those cold winter evenings
Spendorman
Certainly is a reasonable amp that can be fettled into something better without too much work. If nothing else, its a nice case and heatsinks for a project.
Well not exactly a bargain, really, but another "itch that had to be scratched" - back in the day, I always lusted after a Pioneer Stable Platter CD player, so winning a PD-S904 tonight should give me the opportunity to try one. Happy days.(It's still got the label on it, boxed, excellent condition - will be the the heart of my 90's system, just running out of rooms now!)

Andre pointed me in the direction of a teac T-1 transport. I looked deeper as I'd owned and rather liked a VRDS 10 nearly twenty years ago. It turns out that it's actually an inverted cheapo Sony mech with a "platter" of sorts grafted onto Sony's motor and the usual top clamp set underneath.
Good luck with the Pioneer Alex..
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?
One for the EMT fans...
It's a bargain at the moment with 99p start - anyone want to guess how much it will go for?

It really is in mint condition, and I love the novelty of the Stable Platter, and this might sound silly, but one of the reasons I wanted to get one was to make me clean my CDs as you get to look at the "business end!" First impressions are that it is very close to my Marantz as a transport into the Caiman, maybe a tad brighter (harsher?) in the treble, but problem is I just want to keep playing vinyl at the moment...
