This one boggles the mind...

 

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Thorens-TD-165-Empty-Box/283889248515?hash=item42191e2903:g:ZUMAAOSwyoJeyek5

 

I'm just curious...is there a subculture into hifi packaging? 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.

You receive it as a flat pack then have to assemble it

 

Would you believe he actually specifically addresses that question:

Original Thorens box will not be flat packed. I will send the Thorens box insided another larger box to protect the original.

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..

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?

 

Edit: I just realised this is the gumtree thread, sorry for the off topic posts.

& someone keeps bidding against me lol.

 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.
