Bargains on ebay?

They seem to fetch good money over in the US, $2000+ for a decent one. Of course that doesn't mean there aren't better ways to spend the money.

I bought my Pioneer SX950 for £61 last year. Its also mint. I know its not a 1980 but its not far off and £2240 cheaper...!

well there is still an ebay bargain god.........in my eyes anyway, i've just managed to bag myself an Aiwa AP2600 DD turntable, it's gunna need a good clean and service, but it's like the proverbial rocking horse shit and at £22 a bargain too

And here one is in action

Yeeesssss, well done Mike! You got a real bargain m8

You can now join me in the joys of AP2600 ownership

**Jac Hawk** · 08-01-2012, 21:03

like i said it's gunna need a good clean and service, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem, what got me was how much it weighs.. 15Kg

now that says quality to me

Mark do you have a service manual for it m8, and also how easy would you think an arm upgrade would be??

**Reid Malenfant** · 08-01-2012, 21:12

No service manual for it i'm afraid, but I reckon an arm upgrade should be possible

Unlike the Techie the AP2600 has one rather massive motor unit instead of it all being in seperate bits. In all honesty I haven't taken a close look at the internal electronics as mine works perfectly still

Give it a clean & then see what it does, I doubt you'll need to do a thing to it to get some serious sounds out of it. But maybe a recap might be in order just to put the icing on the cake...

I bought mine for £25, but that was at least 10 years ago, so you got a real bargain Mike

Nice bag there, Mike. Should be an excellent restoration project.

**Jac Hawk** · 08-01-2012, 21:21

think i should have it ready for Scalford

Can't believe how much some of the stuff is going for on fleabay these days. there's still a very well priced Krell KSA80B up in Sheffield - and it IS a good amp IMO and will drive anything...
