Who's up for a "Cheap as Chips" Challenge?

[Reid Malenfant]

Wow. That's £5.30 cheaper than my amp. I mustn't have tried hard enough. Good luck with the repair.

I'm surprised i was only the second bidder tbh You should have seen my face light up when i realised the other person bidding was a n00b to ebay with 2 feedbacks I guess he/she knows what sniping is about now even though i do it manually - stuff using a program

I managed to fix mine for nowt.

I should imagine that's about how much this will cost to fix even if the transformer is stuffed or all the output transistors

Good luck & nice work with the record deck, me, i'm going the CD route

I did cd in my £55 system at Scalford. I thought I might try something different. I have an idea for a pc based system using an old pc I was given and a touchscreen monitor that was getting thrown out as the psu had blown. It's a bit drawing board at the moment. Will see how it goes.

I found a pair of Project speaker stands in the loft. I'm happy to donate these for everybody to use along with my £5 rack if that suits.

A little something that might enter the fray

Loadsa money left still

[Reid Malenfant]

That amp just arrived Mains fuse was blown so fitted the spare that was in the holder on the combined IEC/fuse mains connector &....



Chuffed

Boxed as new with instructions & the outer box as well

Nice one. That's a lot of watts for not a lot of money. It sometimes amazes me that people don't think of simple stuff like fuses. But his loss and all that...

Good grief........ now that's what I call a bargain

[Reid Malenfant]

Well tbh i don't think the seller spotted it It was a combined IEC input with a fuseholder built in & it didn't say "fuse" on the fuseholder Obviously i knew what it was as soon as i saw it as i have seen it all before

I just levered it out, removed the blown fuse & fitted the spare that happened to be in part of it

Yep, bargain & i bet it doesn't sound bad either as it's not a piece of junk like some PA amps

Just noticed that it says AC Input & fuse printed just below it on the back panel... Ah well... No idea how it was missed then

You have to laugh at this from his listing description;

Could be useful for spare parts or someone electrically minded who knows how to repair these things.

feel a bit sorry for him really, especially as he seemed to like it!

Ah, yes Tim in a way i agree However for every one that loses some sellers gain the Receiver i bought/won previously arrived in super condition, but with the whole power amplifier section missing

Having looked carefully at the item condition for "spares or repair" it appears that bits can be missing & it's still ok

So i got a pre amp with 200W PSU for £1.20, i actually wanted to get the whole thing working minus the radio

Bit of a disappointment but there you go, win some, lose some..

E2A:- i haven't bothered finding out if it works yet either, so other things might be duff!

Did you look inside the box to see if anything is there?
