Bargains on ebay?

Vintage Yamaha CR-800 receiver in decent nick! Very high quality seventies jobbie. Wood case could do with a slight tidy, but not bad though. Nice unit.

RECOLLIMATING" - Whats that then ?

It means that the coil is no longer central in the gap.

Not heard that one before.

Got it now, COLLIMATING: To make parallel; line up.

Yes, I don't think it's a term that's usually used in relation to speakers. I know it from messing about with telescopic sights on firearms.

Fancy way of saying "I busted it." IMO

Done my share of that too.

Just bought a Chinese 4 x 40 at a bargain price that looks very nicely made, came with mounts too. Not sure whether to bung it on my old BSA Meteor air rifle (no real firearms these days) or the crossbow I'm getting.

Myst tma3 integrated amplifier. Getting rare these days. They have a bit of a cult following for some reason. I've not tried one myself.

Watch out Southall!

BSA Super Meteor was my first air rifle. I'm quite tempted to buy a nice vintage Feinwerkbau pistol or rifle - always fancied one.

Yes they are nice. I'd quite like another Benjamin or Sheridan rifle. Crosman still make the 1377 pump up pistol, good fun and powerful, cheaply made these days though. Wish I'd kept my SIG Hammerli 401 and BSF model 55.

Which one did you have?? I desperately wanted a Sheridan 'Silver Streak' back in the day. I've seen a really nice one for sale - only problem is you need a Firearms certificate to get one now ...
