Surely nobody would buy them. Are any of the drivers originals?

No mate they're all DS, and I guess somebody who didn't know any better may have bought them.  I contacted the seller as I was interested in them as a long term project (ha, another one!) and pointed out the DS parts.  The seller told me they were from a family estate and she wasn't willing to negotiate on price.

Agreed. It's a tiburon with Ferrari badges. And where to start on all the other falsehoods and exaggerations. Wow

Seller is one of our members!  He is a great guy, very honest, so I can only assume there has been some error made.

No, I don't believe he is. You are probably thinking of Duc who is Golden Age Audio rather than Golden Age Analog who is the chap in the bay listing.

 

The Ebay bloke has had really nice and interesting stuff for years but it is always pricey and his postage used to reflect items being sent to the US. In fact I'm pretty sure his listings always used to be in US dollars. Note also that the item is for pick up only so it's probably just a listing error or the stupid Ebay postage calculator having a brain fart.

Ah, you could be right there.  I was thinking of Duc, but I did think it was strange that the suburb is Strathmore, cos that's not where Duc lives....

 

Thanks for the correction.

This was up for sale last night for a pair of B&W speakers for $3500. One of the tweeters in the speaker does not look right. Looks a bit suspicious, but apparently they have been sold when I contacted the seller this morning. 

 

Sounds too good to be true and with that dodgy looking tweeter in the R/ speaker. Perhaps they are FAKE B&Ws? Do they make fake B&W speakers?

Apparently this isn't completely unusual."

 

Old Sugden Connoisseur turntables had the same problem.

That is why the 'on' switch incorporated a lever - to give the platter a kick in the preferred direction at start-up.

Ah... the great days of hifi!
