Is that even a thing? He probably at one time had the Thorens table and didn't realise he had the original box for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will send the Thorens box insided another larger box to protect the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockeater Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 2 hours ago, foryou said: Not for all people, but 1000 bucks can buy CD player with double crown Pretty much for every one for I can remove a 28 pin chip in 3 minutes with my (electric) solder extraction gun. It will look as good as new and I would pay for most of the players sporting one couple of hundred bucks anyway, even if they do not have the chip in it anymore. Good thing about this approach is that you get a 100% genuine chip, whereas buying one on eBay would probably get you one with crowns painted on them. Not so long ago, single crowns were under $200 and double were around $300 and the fact that someone wants $1000 does not mean that there are buyers.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muon* Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I have some single crowns but no doubles. I in fact use a standard later 1998 Taiwan chip in my player as a preference. I believe the difference between standard 1997 and later Taiwan chips and double crowns might not be as big as some might expect. Better maybe, but how much better?

Probably something to do with the love hate relationship I have with this thread. Love the deals but I hate it when something I am bidding/following gets a mention. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
