It's not a monoplate, is it?

 

No - it was a dual mono plate but the box may well have had a mono plate in there. I didn't get the chance to go through all of them and check. I have an earlier version with the exact same Ken Rad engraved base. Again, found in a similar box from fleabay in South Australia back in Feb 2020.

Sensational Proton D1200 power amp from the 70's.

 

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/ashfield/stereo-systems/proton-d1200-power-amplifier-high-end-/1260113550

 

These could power up just about anything, and provided a very detailed sound stage. I suspect they might be best with a tube based preamp, or something just a bit warm.

 

I have the D1150 sibling and although it's not currently in use, it's much better than some new amps costing 3 x's the price.

Did you buy them? I just went to check them out again but the listing is gone.


Nah. If I was in the vicinity I would have maybe have asked to see in person. I'm hesitant to buy old speakers as I have some that have similar age related issues.

Warning or Alert!

 

I just noticed a new player on Ebay (aussieaudioclearance) who has been there for about a month, feedback of 4, with a whole bunch of tempting offers starting at $99.

Revel Concerta 2a anyone? Cary SLI-100?

 

Now, it may be legit, but none of the photos are of the actual items (i.e. stock photos). Apologies to the seller if they're for real.

i was just going to post a warning to be very careful when buying these because if it seems too good to be true........ 

 

buy at your own risk and make sure you do it through paypal at least.

The brands all look to be those of the distributer: https://convoy.com.au/

 

Some of the items also seem to match their clearance page:

https://convoy.com.au/shop/

 

No idea if they are legit though, so as per above, buyer beware

Just sent an email asking for ACTUAL item pics.  Always the giveaway - every single item has stock advertising photos - not a real photo anywhere.  Look forward to their response....!

Maybe @Marc could confirm with Convoy, I believe they are a sponsor here. Personally, I think it is Convoy. Possibly give them a call.

These look like the same clones that sold a few months back for $4000.

 

I was interested and asked to see photos of the crossover. Whatever crossover is in them it is not original spec and there are no known aftermarket networks. I steered clear based on that but the drivers and cabinets are easily worth 4k.

Goofing around while I’m on hold to Telstra trying to work out why most of our devices lost stored emails yesterday.  Found this pretty Swedish item, Luxor Dirigent 4300
