Magenta Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 SOLD Item: Halcro EC800 CD/ SACD Location: Adelaide Hills Price: $sold Item Condition: like new - We have found a few of these in the Halcro factory.

They are a superb sounding CD/ SACD player. Fell free to contact us if you have any questions.

a.dent Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 +1. Are they a rebadged DVD player with modified electronics? How long have they been sitting there? i.e. when were they manufactured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfoto Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Is there a manual and would there possible be a photo or layout for the front control buttons. Obviously there is no front transport cover, but one could be made if one knew how it attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_mike Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Is there a remote, and if not, are all functions available through the control buttons on the case? A lot of important questions raised here, but if they are fully functional, I'm interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have they been sitting there? i.e. when were they manufactured? They are around 5 years old and are a DVD player as well. All factory checked..... Looking at the PM's I think they are almost all gone already...... ooops.... I guess they were too cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhakPak Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I have seen used examples go on eBay for $500 USD... I'd pay more for one of these if the facia could be removed and painted as per current dm paint spec, and fitted with transport bay cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(painting) Really? $500 used on Ebay? Please show me the link..... note, these are brand new - just unfinished... I think we sold through this lot now..... took a few hours Will see if we can find some more in the hidden corners of the factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhakPak Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Yes, $500 USD, they do come up from time-to-time. I always throw in a lo-ball offer but I haven't been able to jag one yet. I'd probably pay $1000 for a properly finished new one, it's worth paying the extra $500 for the paint job and screen printing of the button functions. In the past it was never the Halcro way to let a product out the door that wasn't perfect in every way. I looked closely in the background of the EC800 photos for any other Halcro delicacies that might be on those shelves...I spotted an SSP but not much else. Everything hidden in boxes.

Gets me salivating at the prospect of what might be found in that warehouse, even though I have everything Halcro that I need (but a properly finished EC800 and dm10 with flight case would be nice....)

Hell yeah, and I don't even want a CD player...I'm sorted for sources, seriously... @Magenta maybe if you find a black one that you're struggling to move on (ha!, not likely based on this thread), then drop me a PM...
