You should see the replies I got asking about some interesting shaped cabinets from the 60’s. Turned out to be custom made Lockwood studio cabinets likely worth 4 figures empty.

This is such terrible advice. I have found so many off brand speakers over the years containing really nice components, sometimes worth significant amounts of money.

92 was in there, along with Ghostrider 1, star wars 1 x4 copies and 2 copies each of Star Wars 2-4, Action comics 416, marvel spotlight 28, spiderman 96-98…around $7-8k in total according to one of these collection apps. Glad I saved them

Former CEO of Lockwood confirmed they did in fact make special order triangle shaped cabinets and these are very likely made by them. Time to find a pair of Tannoy reds!

HUGE 70’s comic book collection I rescued from being binned today

I’m mellowing out with old age lol not as enthusiastic about never ending projects as I was 10 years ago.

Fully working. Sound is amazing.

Another ginormous power amplifier scrapyard find. TOA P300.

These kinda threads are pointless. The people buying sx1980’s for market value aren’t fussed by sound quality nor do they hang around here.

Trusted tech with 40 years of experience and good reviews has disappeared with them. They are cursed.

yep I posted a suggestion and it got removed lol

Massively overpriced.

Working in e waste, it’s become very common to see 5-7 year old avr’s tossed as faulty.

Quite a few in London I’m meaning to check out. Giant Steps in East London had some insane Klipsch and Altec speakers when I went there 6 years ago. I know of a few small restaurants with decent setups but they almost always have old Tannoys which are pretty boring sounding.

What dumbos…cutting the box Incredible find

Except for Japan

Very nice JVC speakers found at the recyclers today. 30Kg each

Pic of the back, definitely meant to be wall mounted

Need to find out if they are genuine Lockwood cabinets. If so they are likely worth a fair bit unmolested.

Pics as requested. I’m 99% sure these housed tannoys, the 4 screws for the crossover confirm this. Incredibly well made, i’ve found loads of 70’s kit speakers over the years and you can tell a homebrew cab; these are nothing like those. Grill cloth used to be red

Interesting picture on the Lockwood website

I dont think there is any harrods connection beyond the cardboard used for protection but you never know

Thank you. Yes I agree with the lockwood opinion, they are incredibly well built, weigh maybe 30 or 40 KG unloaded and have hooks on the back. Heres how they came in, clearly meant something to someone once upon a time to be so nicely protected.

Coz its vintage init The bubble has burst IMO, glory days of flipping are gone. Decline began early 2023 and sales have been slowing ever since, I expect the thrift stores will eventually price things accordingly if they don’t sell

I’ll throw them back in the burn pile at the recyclers then, everyone happy now?
