I have no loudspeakers, CD players, reel to reel tape decks, TVs, VCRs, DVDs for sale.

There may be other items which I have not listed for sale such as some old signal generators and minor amplifiers which may suit a serious diyer or local experimenter. Feel free to email me about what you may want.

I  do have some stocks of vacuum tubes for amplifiers and old radios, and other amplifier parts. 
Because of the low worldwide stocks of NOS small size premium grade audiophile tubes such as 6CG7, 12AU7 and others, I will only supply them in an amp I build for someone. I do have some saleable stocks of generic NOS tubes such as 12AX7. I do not use 12AX7 in any of my new designs.

Many people wanting a new tube or two for an old radio do not need a new tube.
What they really need is to have their old radio repaired wholistically because often there are a large number of circuit failings that have accumulated
since the radio was manufactured over 40 years ago. While I like doing this work, it can take several days work to fix all the problems and
many people don't like to pay me tradesman's rates for such work. Somehow they don't see that spending days repairing an old radio is worth the same wage rate that they happily pay a plumber, electrician, kitchen carpenter or motor mechanic. So I have to wait until I find the time when nothing more lucrative is available. At present I have 7 old radios here needing weeks of work, because I rarely get slack times between major handcrafting projects.
 
There are usually plenty of online reviews and information if you search via Google on the make and model numbers of items below.
Prices in Australian dollars.

Item 2.
A Rogers stereo amp system for about 10 watts per channel.

The above Rogers amps are in fair condition but one OPT has been replaced in the power amp on the left.
Output tubes are 6GW8.

The condition under the chassis is good for 1960 circuitry with polyester caps that do not need replacing.
This type of 10 watt class AB amp can sound excellent with sensitive speakers and offers an audio enthusiast the
rare opportunity to learn about tube audio and conduct an upgrade based on the hardware present that is otherwise
expensive such as chassis and transformers.

Price, aud $300.00

Item 3. An American DJ turntable, model TTB2010/C MKII.

This would make a great TT for anyone, and of course including anyone who is a dj guy or gal.
There is no plastic cover for the unit though.
Price aud  $200.00.

Item 4.   Rotel integrated power amp, model RA812.

An average integrated power amp from the 1970s.
Price aud $150.00.

Item 5.
JVC Integrated amplifier, model JA-S44.


In mint condition, has had little use, 100W per channel. $200.00

Item 6. Yamaha Cassette deck, model TC1000.

This is a very nice top quality cassette player/recorder and has had very little use.
Has been fully serviced with the last 12 months.   $100.00.


Item 8. Phase Linear graphic equalizer, model 1100 series2.

In good condition, but needs a clean.    $150.00

Item 9. CDC turntable, model ST510.
Entry level turntable, in good condition, $50.00



Item 11. Phillips Gramophone with built in amplifier.

This is maybe a 1972 model Phillips gramophone, ie, it has a TT with selectable 4 speeds 16,33,45 and 78 rpm records.
There is an old fashioned ceramic high output cartridge, perhaps now only suited to mono 78 replay.
There is a transistor amplifier in the box under the TT.
The two speakers fit down over the amp box and clip into place and it can be carried like a suitcase.
One speaker is shown with its back to us to show the open baffle type of speaker enclosure.
Bass isn't up to standards wished by 2006 teenagers, but is improved with speakers placed against a wall.
It is very good for 78 rpm replay. Definitely a fun toy.
Price aud $100.00.

Item 12. Audio Reflex compressor and expander, from 1980s.

For the gadget mad ....
Price $100.00.






Item 10. Akai turntable.  FOR THE VERY DEDICATED EXPERIMENTER OR DIYER.

An Akai TT from the late 1970s, quite reasonable budget quality.
This one needs a little repair to the plastic spring holders on the cover so it stays up
when raised, or use with the top removed. But otherwise in good condition with new Nagoaka cart and new belt.
Price  aud $50.00.

Item 13.  FOR THE VERY DEDICATED EXPERIMENTER OR DIYER.
Pioneer tubed receiver, from about 1958.

This has two 6GW8 10 watt channels, AM and FM mono tuning.
It needs  a fair amount of work and probable full tube replacement.
There is no stereo FM MPX decoder.

As you may see there is a 120mm x 80mm hole behind the front panel where a previous owner tinkered around and
removed and lost what probably was the phono amp stages with a pair of 12AX7.
A new metal plate with new tubed phono stage could be fitted to be better than anything Pioneer ever made.
Or perhaps make a solid state MPX decoder board using chips. I have been asked to repair these sorts of components
in this rather poor condition and it always takes several weeks of work to re-design the whole radio section and audio amps to a
better design, and to provide a  cover case for the unit.
Unfortunately, despite a large positive interest in such wonderful sounding gear when re-engineered, nobody ever wants to pay the
costs for the huge amount of my time to perform wonders with a soldering iron.
Do you have the time that I don't have?
There are enough parts to make a DIYER 10W per channel stand alone integrated amplifier if someone wants to make a suitable chassis.
Price $150.00. 

Item 14.  FOR THE VERY DEDICATED EXPERIMENTER OR DIYER.
Stereomaster receiver, from about 1958.

This one was made in Oz in the late 1950s by a company that came and went like so many which secumbed to cheaper japanese imports.
It has 2 x 6BM8 in each channel for a max 10 watts and there is a good AM tuner for mono AM on the chassis. The cover case is serviceable.
Unfortunately the glass dial was broken long ago. A new dial glass using a piece of clear plastic could be made.
There is no provision for FM reception.
It would take a lot of work to upgrade the internals and replace the tubes.
I don't have the time to re-engineer this item to get at least a fine 10W per channel tube amp which will accept inputs from phono MM cartridge, CD, AUX, FM stereo tuner, and have an inbuilt good sounding tubed AM tuner.
Price aud $150.00.
