Holy shit, PU3 alone used to go for well over £300
Have the same arm,not sure what’s going on with the headshell. Guessing he’s trying to add some weight to it with the round washer,though the counterweight is in two parts,so could have removed the lighter one.
Someone is going to get a bargain. Not me sadly.
Sounds a bit too good to be true.
Yep, can’t see that coming off.
He was selling it for £1900 in July last year, regular posting history so doesn’t look hijacked.
Looks like a genuine bargain IMHO, had a 36.5 and it’s a fantastic preamp.
Hell of a price-cut, no pics, not even mention of unit colour, and Fink Pish has proved far from immune to account hijacks.
Bargain/Scam - all will be revealed in due course if/when it bubbles-up on thiefBay for 50% more soon…
I wonder if it’s a typo and he intended to price it at £1900 again rather than £900.
I ended up doing photos for him. They looked not bad, and the cat claw didn’t even appear to have actually gone all the way through the surround, but hard to say how that will play out in the longer term. In general, they looked decent, but I’ve no idea what they sound like.
Poor guy sounds like he’s having a really rough time health wise and is trying to do the decent thing. Best of luck to him I say.
I think he’s dying, terminal brain tumour or something. Think that now he has a rough timescale he’s trying to sort out money for his kids, or at least deal with the hifi so they don’t have to.
Terrible situation.
opportunity to get some cheap speakers though
LOL… brutal
Would i go to hell… if i said…
he did say they were “speakers for life”
No. He’s right and real. Selling to someone with more left.
That cat claw hole doesn’t look bad to me, wouldn’t worry about it.
I’ve had a pinhole in a bass driver (Sam’s Audio Physics FWIW), and the hole was a lot easier to hear than to find visually - obvious squeaky/farting noise from one channel - would have been vaguely amusing had it not been so expensive for a replacement driver.
If you can live with the visuals (and don’t mind owning haunted speakers ) then summat like a pushbike inner-tube repair kit would probably restore functionality adequately.
Wow, I wouldn’t have thought it would be obvious but every day is a school day. Still seems a good price to take a chance on though.
Prolly depends on implementation - significant back pressure/small highly-pistonic drivers will make it worse I’d guess, but one I’d approach with some care.
They are good speakers, I’ve heard close relatives and they’re a pretty decent compromise between horns and cat-coffins.
Really well restored and a bargain
