Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

[Barry]

You guys got the better bargain: I paid £25 for a pair of Quad IIs and a Quad 22 preamp alone.

Me too, about the same time, bought from a second hand shop in Edgware near the junction of Station road and the Edgware Road. Same cabinet, but containing 2 x Quad II power amps, Quad 22, Quad FM1 and stereo decoder. I can't remember what the turntable was, don't think it was anything special. Whole lot was also £25.

Was that Denys Trickett's shop? He was situated there and had loads of stuff like that.

Was it? I don't remember that. No, I think it was what we used to call a junk shop, sort of house clearance. Was almost opposite Planet Hi-Fi in Edgware.

About the same time, another pair of Quad II's, 22 and FM1 cost me £10, came from an acquaintance who was changing to Quad 303, 33, etc.

Those two sets of Quad II's and more are pictured here, that is a much later cabinet in the picture.

It's funny (or sad) to see the prices the Leak and Quad valve amps fetch now. I had four Stereo 20s and a couple of sets of Quad IIs and the most I paid was £40 apart from the last Stereo 20 which cost me £80 and needed rebuilding. The transformers were OK and it was tidy cometically, so with about £20 worth of parts (I had spare valves), I suppose that one totalled £100.

You have almost as much Quad gear as I have!

That photo is around 35 years old, only one pair of Quad II's left now, but much more of the transistorized stuff now.
