Model 14, like the ones in this post: http://audiokarma.org/forums/index....now-these-and-hello.31738/page-3#post-3333942

Pretty, nicely built little things.

Very nice I have 5 pairs or NL. Love them. All mine are model 8A and 10A's

Your set up and finds are great. I have a pioneer pl 514 and a Sony R2R and sanui 771 running two 10's and two 8's and an onkyo integra running the same set up. And a small AK "brew" tube amp running some NL 332's

My Big Ten Inch

I plan to play with it often! No sign of the transistor issues I keep reading about, dead quiet. All the audio transistors on the bottom board are the standard rounded TO-92s, not the flat ones, and no sign of blackened leads. Fingers crossed...

A friend of mine gave me that deck. The only problem was chipping on the wood sides. I bought a chunk of Purple heart to make new sides from.

Pair of Paradigm 7se. Great speakers for low powers amps. I passed on them as I have enough speakers stashed throughout the house. Patience and persistence turn up some good stuff a few times a year.

Those are really great speakers. My 3se's are probably my favorite speaker for easy listening. I wouldn't have passed.

Found this shelving at Costco. I like that the shelves are solid. Super simple to put together, just need a rubber mallet. Great for out of rotation storage.

It's not enough you have the best luck finding equipment , now you find a great storage solution too .

Will they go any higher and still be stable?

They can be stacked, but require securing to studs for stability if so. I didn’t want to lift these heavy beasts any higher than necessary, so configured the shelving side-by-side.

I use the same shelving for storage. It's fantastic.

The load rating is pretty crazy too, you can put a lot of iron on it.

Chick, it's interesting to see your posts w/ photos of nice gear at great prices. Reviewing what I've had over the years I could have done the same. So much gear has come and gone.

My most recent resale shop purchases in the past 6 months have been Monitor Audio S6 Silver 2.5 way speakers, Yamaha rxv2700 140watt x 7 avr, Panamax 5100 line conditioner/surge protector, plus Dynaudio Contour T2.1 center speaker (1.5 yrs ago) to assemble a great sounding 3.0 HT system, in time for the superbowl.

Haven't been inside a GW in a long time. The good stuff dried up when they started putting it all on shopgoodwill.com.

I gave up on " thrift stores" entirely in my area. Ridiculously priced electronics in practically all of them for basic junk. But , that's in my area. May not be the case everywhere.

I haven’t had a good score for about five years.

Finding good gear or speakers at a GW around my area is admittedly harder these days than in the past but that is due to a variety factors that are not attributable to GW. I am mostly focused on looking for music when there and in that area they continue to be a great source. While visiting Lexington KY last week I found 4 great Jazz CD' (Adderly, Django, Monk and Mingus) at one location and a Jamal Lewis and Jimmy McGriff vinyl at another location.
