    Before Stuart Tyler created Proac he had a setup called Celef which produced a beautiful little speaker that seems largely forgotten now, the Celef Monitor. I'll be interested to see what these go for:

    The resistive port using drinking straws was a particularly clever bit of design.

    I've seen a few listings now with an email as the 2nd picture. Appears to be a trend...

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331393716811
    I have seen several EMTs advertised for sale with photographed taken outside. Usually they are EMT 950s and are photographed outdoors because they are very large pieces of kit. The fact that this particular 948 TT is phographed outdoors doesn't bother me.

    Nor does the amount of carriage being charged. EMT decks are precision pieces of kit. I would expect the seller to provide adequate packaging - and transportion by air is not neccessarily cheap. I bought an EMT 930 from a seller in Hungary. He frequently sold ex-broadcast TTs and knew how to pack them. Mine arrived at Stanstead arirport in a massive air-freight wooden packing case with canvas straps. I believe I paid over £250 for the carriage.

    Regarding the scam postings with an e-mail as the second and subsequent image - well I haven't seen that before. The EMT 948 listing I commented on didn't have that - if it did I would certainy regard it with suspicion. I'm surprised eBay allows such dubious posting to be made.

    Regards
    Barry

    ebay are lazy and dont really care. i complained about a set of cables that had postage of nearly 800 quid on them which is obviously just a way of avoiding charges and as buyer had to pay for return post they were not goi!g to get many retyrns. ebay did nothing.! another reason why i use them less and less.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
