    Not every day you see one of these... It's a Consonance Droplet. Didn't sound too bad either!

    Thank You!

    Hi guys, Haven't been here in ages and been meaning to do this for a while. Apparently there are a few folk here who have recommended me over the years (I do repairs to AV gear in the Cowies Hill / Westville KZN area) and others who have supported me as a result of those recommendations. So...

    Anyone own a Jaguar S-Type?

    Hi everyone, Always liked the slightly retro look of the 1999 - 2008 S-Type and almost bought one recently. Do any of you own one and if so, which one, and how do you find it? Chris

    Should mom just give up?

    My folks are in their seventies. Between them they have family all over the world. Enter the wonderful world of internet and email. Enter also the not so wonderful world of software that presupposes that all computer users live in America and have permanent 24/7 hi-speed broadband internet...

    Chris's "Barn finds" Beomaster 1700

    Early 70's me thinks? Looking positively antiquated compared to the early 80's 7000's for example. Incredibly, those rubber "tank tracks" on either side are still supple and turn whatever it is they were meant to turn! I'll do some "under the bonnet" pics when her turn comes.

    Mystery tweeters

    Anyone know what these are? I suspect they may have been left over from a Linn upgrade but just a guess.

    Dual CK16

    Found a Dual CK 16 TT with Shure M55EM cartridge. Plinth has 2 small marks on the front and cover is cracked at the rear (lower left). Should clean up really well. Is it worth anything to anyone? Tried to upload photo but really battling today. Suspect internet may be "broken" in places?

    Lamp or LED ?

    Recently worked on a Marantz 1060 and replaced the power indicator lamp with an LED. From the outside it looks exactly the same. Only difference is it will outlast the rest of the set. The lamps supply is AC. I just added a diode, a cap and a current limiting resistor for the LED. Was just...
