Hi Rich sounds like you'll be "pushing the boat out then".I thought of something on those lines but could'nt find any heat shrink tubing that went down to 36" waist, might settle for my Targan [a la Vox/Selmer] underpants ,worn on the outside in true john major style ,being the fashionista I am.p.s note to self -bring an active vol control to turn down Ken's shirt .

Started work on modifying an old pair of Mission 760se. If they work out fine I'll be bringing them and a pair of stands I've bought for 20quid.

Anyone up for a cheap as chips challenge this time?

Possibly, what budget do you have in mind?

I think the original cheap as chips challenge they did at Scalford a few years ago was 100quid.

Could make it flexible though and give another 50quid headroom. That would be for a full system and if it's stuff we already have we could look up a notional current value.

For 2015 we could it the 'austereo challenge'

~£100, Source, Amp & Speakers, I'd be up for that.

Count me in +1 (my brother) if there's still space?

Cool, let's see if Floyddroid the organiser will let us have a half hour or so in the day and a corner to set up our cheap systems. Could provide a bit of light entertainment in between people setting up their systems....

**Floyddroid** · 03-08-2015, 20:27

I'm sure we can sort something. after all, it should be fun shouldn't it? If NEBO 6 is anything like as poular as last time and well attended then i may have to consider a two day event in the fture. If not then hey ho, it's still a great day.

Great, so we can have an 'austereo' mini bake.

Hundred quid is the budget, give or take a couple of quid.

Begging and borrowing is fine as long as the items could reasonably be bought or modified within that budget. I.e. Borrowing a mates krell amp or spending hundreds on modifying a cheap CDP is cheating

Let the fun begin.

This will be done towards the end of the day Rich.
