Re the P2, I’m not sure what the middle knob of the front is for. I have a P2 (MM only), mine has the On/Off at the RHS and a single Gain knob at the LHS. I wonder if they’ve split the gain providing a seperate knob for each channel. If so, why?
Also, I wonder what the black cylinders are at the back (top left) on the second picture… perhaps they are the SUTs for an MC…
There’s an extra knob on the front as well (ooh, Matron!) - edit. - snap! - which could be an input selector for some line level inputs to turn it into a full function preamp.
I’ve thought of doing that to mine with the selector just electrically ahead of the volume pot, but don’t want to cut it around too much so I’m still havering over it… 
They are in the right location to be factory- or dealer-fitted SUTs which were an option, or could I think be had in a separate case. @murrayjohnson will be along in a mo to confirm or correct that, hopefully
Yes, the same (very good) high/low ratio transformers were also available in a T2 transformer. The P2 has switches on the pcb next to where the transformers are mounted that allow the user to switch between MM & MC and then Low & High if MC was selected.
Not eBay…

Were these the same at Scalford 2016?

Yes, Kl L 501’s not sure what drivers they had mounted at Scalford - I remember listening to them though. These are the tops (comes with Amps too)
Lolz
Back in the early 80’s when I first had an interest in audio, the back of What HiFi had an index of all turntables, amps, speakers & it was instructive to see which were the most expensive items. Back then the most expensive TT (listed in the UK anyway) was always the Thorens Reference which then was about £10K if memory serves. I imagine it probably remained the most expensive until the Goldmund Reference came along. IIRC the most expensive speakers were the ElectroVoice Patrician 3 although who knows where you could buy those in early 80’s Britain.
315 lbs each (142 Kg) and a 30" woofer!
These were the most expensive ones at the back of the mag in the late 70s
Sb10000 at £10,000 which translate to £50,000 today
£50,000 today gets you these sonus fabers
Go Full Technics…
good price
Ended up going for £1300
Nice start to a 2/3way system
Or these, will go for a pretty penny I assume, the guy has two…
I do wonder buying vintage now, based on my experience with Tannoy Monitor Gold 15s and Goodmans Axiom 201/301 & Audiom 81 drivers. Spec variation is so wide with 60+ years old drivers.
Finding a nice matched pair, close to original spec can be quite hard
I think westrex was rebadged Altec rather than Western Electric.
I agree. I’m happier with the idea of getting old compression drivers where new diaphragms are available. Spending ££££ where repairs are hampered by unobtanium parts is dead risky to me.
