If you have a quick look at his other items befor ethey finish it shows the tweeters, mids and one woofer.
There are no woofer parameters, just a picture
Have a look at these babiesNow if only someone else was willing to import a pair i'd go for the others
Yes there would be import tax to pay & VATBut a 12" with 20mm or 40mm pk-pk is not to be sniffed at
Makes all these 15" drivers with 4mm pk or 8mm pk-pk seam tame in comparison... You know who you are
Think Tannoy...

They do look rather pleasant. But might have to be something to think about in the future. I'll go and pick the cabinets up in the week and see what I've got.
Just got to do a bit of research now on driver selection and crossovers and all manner of other stuff. Will be posting questions soon enough.

I finally have it, looks scruffy but that silver pannel is scratch free, machine should come up like new. I can see the Pinch Roller has disintegrated & no doubt the idler wheels have the same but that shouldnt be a problem. All in all another classic from the late 60's

Just picked up a Teac vrds 7 for £95. New mechanism fitted last year supposedly, but no remote.
My vrds 9 mech died the other day
So far I think the 9 sounded better. It had a rather nice dual differential PCM1702 arrangement. And a remote.
I feel there will be a dac being purchased at some point in the future.

I've just had it running on repeat all night and it's sounding quite pleasant. Will hold off on the dac idea for a bit.
It does look quite pretty in my rack. Will have to do pics of my new kit later.
