And what did we buy today? - Page 6

dave_gerecke · 12th June 2009, 05:51 PM

It wasn't today, but last Sunday, but I picked up a pair of Magnepan MG II-B's for $50. They need a little work, but considering that they were $1200 new in 1983 and a pair went for $150 yesterday on ebay needing similar work, I'm happy.

Peace,

Dave

Bought me a pair of the alpair6 for $80 on sale at alpair-usa. Now waiting for either the eminance or goldwood drivers to go on sale at PE for 1/2 price (and free shipping too!)

I got 100 ft. of teflon insulated, silver plated stranded 14AWG on ebay for $40.

New toy for the shop.

Makes chassis and vinyl cleaning a.... BREEZE!

(Canucks, they're $50 at CanTire until the 26th of June)

Cheers!

Well I almost bought a pair of Klipsch La Scalas on craigslist today. Eventually decided against it because the $500 would be better spent on my upcoming vacation

A pair of Admiral Tunnel Reflex (the ones with FE103A in them) for $2.

An interesting aside... the guy who designed these got the US Patent for transmission lines just before Bailey published his seminal article.

A Pair of NOS UTC A-20 Tx for my DAC - from that auction in the skies.

A rack-mount Tektronix 502A (haven't fired it up yet) and a small box of tubes, two of which appear to be NOS Telefunken 12AX7s still in the boxes and matching date codes, as well as two more Tele AX7s (one labelled Tele, the other Fisher) that appear to be used.

Damn, that Tek is heavy!
