Why don't you keep and restore this piece of hifi history? I can supply
all of the service literature, and your local retired telly repair man
could do the rest. The far east will pay £1000 for the pre power, but
what you have is next to priceless.

Hello,

I have the acquired some vintage audio gear, which I am looking to sell, and
was hoping for some advice on likely value, where best to sell it, and how
to safely test it. The items a

LEAK TL/12.1 power amp
LEAK Preamp
LEAK AM Tuner
A R Sugden Connoisseur Turntable
Original documentation and connectors

I believe the components are as those detailed for the 'Console Cabinet' on
http://www.werple.net.au/~kiewavly/Curiosities.html. The tuner is as
pictured at the bottom of the page. There is also a single driver, which
from the above page I would assume is from a Leak 550, but don't have
readily available to check.

The items are all superficially in excellent condition, and have been well
stored, although are of unknown functionality. I'm technically competent,
but have absolutely no experience with valves, and hence have no idea how to
safely test the equipment without damaging it. Are there major things to
avoid, or is it simply a case of connecting things up and feeding in a
suitable input signal?

Can anyone give me an approximate value of the above components? Is there
important to ascertain, beyond presumably whether it works? Is the best
place to sell them likely to be eBay, or would I do better tying to find a
specialist dealer?


Many thanks,

Chris Key

I wish that I'd never heard of Leak. I bought their transistorized stereo
amplifiers (Stereo 30 and Stereo 70) and found them to be "a load of crap".
Their sound quality and build quality were very poor. What happened to that
company, to make something so bad, after something so good (the Leak _valve_
amplifiers).?
I did also have a Leak Trough Line (have I got this wording right?) tuner,
which seemed OK.
