Bargains on ebay?

They're actually quite nice speakers but very prone to foam rot on both bass and midrange drivers.

On the other hand, they've got a 5 LED power meter on the front - who cares what they sound like?!!

Isn't it past your bedtime Mr Beobloke?

Five LEDs? Think they had pots for mid & treble too, but I'm not sure.

It was indeed past my bedtime - you're right. No wonder I was tired and grumpy this morning...

As to the Goodmans, they did indeed have mid and treble pots.

Hmmm, I got sucked into the Troughline nonsense for a while and also paid silly money for one with a stereo decoder. I played with it for a long time but in the end concluded there was far too much hype about the Troughline, much of it generated by Noel Keywood of HFW.

I sold mine on and I'm very happy now to be using my relatively vintage Creek 3140 which does everything the Troughline never did. If you're into Troughline, £30 seems about right to me.

I was given a Quad FM valve tuner. No power supply but a friend, Nigel Pearson of Loricraft, ( and well known amplifier designer ) constructed a power supply for me. We used a Maplin module for the decoder.

Performance ? It ' out Quadded ' my FM 4 and totally upstaged my Sony ST3950F tuner. Downside? Limited range on the 'dial '. I couldn't receive Classic FM...

Was it 'better ' than a Troughline ? Who knows ? It made music and R3 sounded sublime.

Noel Keywood thought it quite good, but not as good as a Trough-Line. There was a feature on building a ps for it in the diy section one time.

Well, Adam, I went for them. Did a bit of ferrettng about and could only find enthusiastic remarks.

Need a bit of work.

Five LEDs! Ho!-Ho! . . .

Dug out Hi-Fi Answers Dec. '84 and opened it straight at Comet's ad for them! Took it as a sign from the gods!

Bass drivers look a bit shagged - but if you can fix them then hey ho. And the LED power meters - hey ho plus 2

[Mr Kipling]

Just hope I can find some surrounds for them.

[Beobloke]

Excellent stuff! Good Hi-Fi in the Netherlands will have some surrounds that will fit. Don't forget to buy new dust caps so that you can cut the old ones off and shim the voice coil whilst replacing for best results.
