Years of watching for a decent deal for a 10” R2R and it comes to me for free! The Good news: It's about as pristine as you can expect. Original owner gave it to me because "it won't move the tape reels". It was kept under a dust cover and not abused. One volume control knob has a scratch...

Not that I broke the bank, far from it, but I'm suddenly in reverse on getting rid of stuff... A three weeks ago it was a Silvertone Integrated amp and AM / FM Reciver. Tubes of course. Nice small units, and very clean. I still havent had time to light them up, (I've been swamped...) and...

OK, OK, every time I get rid of the last "B" word gear, I find some more... This time it might be an OK find. Its a reciever for the very first time, and marked "Spatial Control Reciver" A large beast, I think it might be the Dr's contribution to the "Monster" receiver catagory? Its...

I saw this and had to pass it on: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/zip/2374378834.html Not affiliated and don't know if they know anything about what they are talkng about, but someone in the SF bay area may want these...

I may have a lead on a pair, and know a couple of names, but am hardly an expert, never having heard any. The guy did not remember the brand. so my basic question is are there Electrostatics that are not worth messing with? :scratch2: Who made them and who were great, vs. mediocre, vs...

No huge scores, but I haven't seen much at all in several years... Sansui 221, pots need cleaned, veneer is crap but can be redone, all lights work, a HUGE 8 WATTS!!! :D - I've paid more for a burger. A pair of black Minimus 7's with the hanger hooks on the back, (Later ones didn have...

Not affiliated, looks nice, but no my cup of tea: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/gms/2289675507.html Look fast, its likely to get flagged/removed as it is mis catagorized...

I just had a pair of DS-90a Roland monitors land in my lap. Now I've heard/seen a lot of speakers called "Digital ready" and the like, but these could actually use that label and not make me laugh. Why? They are (seriously) powered monitors, and will accept either an analog of a digital...

Spotted a Marantz 2226B at a yard sale yesterday; It’s been abused, it’s filthy, the outer knobs on the Mid and base controls are missing, it has some marks on the top edge of the front panel. But it’s a Marantz. I ask how much and the guy says $10 if it lights up when plugged in, $1 if it...

When a Car stereo had COD_ _ _ _ on the readout? my Car stereo is dead, other than that on the readout, and won't take a CD or tune a station. Does it need some magic code to work? :dunno:

I don’t think this has been done (search didn’t help much) So what record Labels are considered "Premium Labels” where they are made to high(er) standards? :scratch2: I know 180 gr records are considered in this class, but are they all, or do some use the standard pressing stamps and all...

So what is a non audio score? Anything you buy, find have given to you or pickup that is unusual, interesting, or just a good deal! I haunt a lot of yard sales and Flea markets, and if it’s interesting,(and a deal…) it might come home with me, especially if it is a tool (Some of you know I'm...

OK, once in a while you get a “meant to be” situation. Over a year ago, someone gave me a pair of 1920’s French doors. I wanted them because we have a bedroom/den off the living room with double doors with a 4 foot opening. The old glass doors were also to fit a 4 foot opening. No locks or...

OK, I mentioned in the DC offset thread that I picked up an Optimus SA-155 integrated amp at a yard sale. I'm was pretty sure these were a chip amp design of some sort. According to the tech sheet from a rat shack Web page says it is a whopping 1.8 WPC! :banana: So I open it to see what it...

Strip one of your ladies naked, and show us what she has! Come on, you know you want to! :banana: I'll start. It's from a few years ago, and not one but two naked ladies! One blond and one redhead! :thmbsp: :D

I have two different projects and need advice past my experience. First up: oiled walnut, dark stain. overall the veneer here is in good shape, and one cabinet really only needs a dose of lemon oil. However, the other hads one side that needs re-stained to the darker color. For small...

One of those shrap bangers and a little follow on rumble. I'm guessing somewher close to a 5, unless it was REAL close. Then maybe a 4 or so. We shall see what they report shortly :para:

Free - Infinity Sterling Speakers (18" x 10.5"). Woofers are blown on both. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/zip/1532923161.html No affiliation

New Game, name a tool! (That I don't have) I’m getting a bit oppressed in my two car garage, as I have been collecting tools since I was about twelve or thirteen. Cars, woodworking, machine tools, metal working tools, antique tools, and duplicates, you name it… So today I was thinking...

Well I worked at it a bit this past year, and managed to shed 10 pairs of speakers, a bunch of drivers and horns, and 1 receiver! :banana: SWMBO is happier, and truthfully so am I. I have a long way to go, but I'm finally seeing some progress! Anyone else trying to break the habit? Or...

Picked up a Harmon Kardon Three Thirty (No letters following) for my favorite price, but know nothing about the HK’s. Anyone have specs, build years and such for this unit? This one has the black vinyl case, and unlike the later 330’s is blackface, albeit plastic. The controls were noisy...

OK I made a curbside PU today, (CL “come and get it”) and there was supposed to be a stereo “Amp”, speakers, and TT. Someone beat me to the TT… However, the “Amp" was an HK three Thirty, so I picked it up, and the speakers at a glance looked like book shelf trash, but I looked at the name...

Any musical theater buffs in the crowd? One of my son’s best friends is into theater. and the Musical, Cats specifically. (And getting all three of my kids hooked. :scratch2: Who’d have thunk?) In any case, he’s attempting to get all the different major productions either recorded, or on...

OK, been away for most of the past few months; I've also been trying to shed some of the unused speakers around here. (I was actually making a little progress too!) :sigh: A few weeks ago someone gave me a set of “Doctored” KLH 20’s, then today I pick up a pair of HPM 900’s Damnit...

Another thread comment made me think of this. I've done so many different things for my career (and at so many different places), and serious hobbies. It’s kind of mind boggling to think about. I've also worked and so many different companies, and still had 22 years at one (Plus 3 years as...
