Hi Keith,

Fine Post.

Thought I'd bring some collective minds to ponder over your
discoveries ...

Looks interesting. One of my teenage lads wants a PVR, this might be
an affordable solution.

Any screenshots of the menus etc ?


Streuth, there's a lot of 'em! I'll see what I can do a bit later - only
cleaning a motorbike and cooking (preparing) a stew atm!


I assume the valve amplifier in
jpg.09 is optional ? :-)


No to me it's not - I wouldn't be without it! ;-)

I had an old Rogers valve amp which I was going to 'dispose' of, however my
daughter put it on ebay where it fetched £130, purchased by a very nice
gentleman in Japan, however it cost over £90.00 just to send it to him!

The Far East has a number of hi-fi enthusiasts
who will pay big money for classic vintage valve
gear; a local guy used to have a business
buying in the UK, selling in the far East,
via a web site.

In the 1960s my mate used to be a engineer for Radford electronics and owns
a very nice Radford 30/30 valved stereo amplifier complete with preamp from
the period.
I've been trying to get him to put it on ebay, as he might just as well make
a few bob whilst he still has the chance, especially as he hasn't used it in
recent times and probably never will.

Radford is the most sought after of all the UK valve amps.
They command prices higher that Leak, and much higher
than Quad. With the exception of the above, plus
Kerr McCosh, Lowther, and Shirley Laboratories,
the others are really worth much.

I don't know the 30/30 model to which you refer. The STA25 was
a 25W push pull EL34 amp, and their best seller. The 15W version
(usually monobloc also sold well) The STA 100 stereo amp is
very rare indeed.

Interesting - I need to dispose of some pretty specialised bits of kit -
monoblok valve amps, electrostatic speakers etc - and thought I would have
to look around for specialist sites or magazines. Is eBay in fact the best
way to go? I must be the only bloke who's never used it....

Hi Geoff. ;-)

Excellent way of selling near anything. One tip is to find out the cost
of packing/carriage beforehand and include that as a firm cost on your
listing. And also mention they may be collected in person.
Stupidly high carriage costs - or not stated ones - put many off bidding.

Yes, good way to sell that gear. Couple of tips -

Sell smaller items first to get some feedback. People will be more
inclined to bid on the more expensive stuff once you have feedback.

Search 'completed items' for the things you are selling before you put
them up. It will help you establish what your item is worth, what
starting price to use.

Provide shipping costs up front. Don't forget insurance!

Decribe accurately, including faults and cosmetic damage.

It's not a good idea to cut and paste text from other auctions.

Use clear, detailed photographs. More is better.

If you allow people to collect, "cash on collection" is best. Do NOT
let them pay up front for anything of signficiant value with Paypal.

Why not?

I was going to ask that too. Although if someone was collecting something
I'd expect cash. Unless for a large sum - I'd not know how to check for
forgeries.
