A pair of real horrors here. Ancient Goodmans Maxim speakers with dirt cheap piezo tweeters fitted and this clown is asking £399????

The Maxims are well overpriced crap anyway. I've owned them. Usually I paid about £8 a pair at boot sales and they're not very good.

“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.”

Cheap releasable cable ties. Very handy! Keep cables neat and also great for keeping spanner sets and the like together.

Low use Ortofon MC25FL MC cartridge at a fair price. These sound superb! Not far behind the revered SPU for sheer musicality.

Rare and interesting Pioneer tt. Shame it is not 100%. Still might be worth a punt at the asking.

These are cabs from GEC metal coned loudspeakers. Originally each contained two 8" ish metal coned drivers, one with a tweeter screwed into the pole piece. Inside a felt baffle hung down, about midway between the drivers and the back. From the cabinetry and the felt baffle (which I think was a Briggs design), the cabs might well have originated with Wharefdale, but made specially for GEC.Thats those speakers again Geoff
as said I think they show the box and some electronics but no drivers tells a story.
The pair I have had blown drivers, the tweeters were ok, and the cabs I've retained with the vague idea of Frankensteining some interesting drivers in at some future date...Tannoy DC2000's with knackered cabinets but ok drivers for little money were on the lookout list as potential donors.
Annoyingly I've got loads of Tannoy 12" DC's but they're too big to go in.
And in all honesty, it's not that high priority as a project.
Something will come along at sometime and that'll do when it does.
