Available right here in Jersey. The possibility of the delivery to PolkFest (of non-speaker items) exists, with no special handling charges. The fuel surcharge may kill you though.

ADC 210 /I guess a little brother to the 303ax. 8” acoustic suspension two-way with “never disintegrate” treated paper surrounds and cone tweeters. Nice cabinets with no scratches, one grille has a slight tear in fabric, not bad at all. A little Olde English polish and…! Cabs about the size of a KLH Model 6, but these go much deeper (low-end wise). I always thought the 10” 303ax went much deeper than the 10” KLH 6 or 17, and these are no exception. They are laid back and go deep. Cabinet placard states a -4db point at 35 cycles. THAT, is almost AR-3a territory. Not bad for an 8 incher. $60
Alesis 3630 /New in the box looking compressor. I have no idea what it does. $100
AP Audio RPM-48S /New in box looking ?” to ?” patch bay. $50
Cerwin-Vega /One, 15” two-way monitor with huge horn in gray wool cabinet w/carrying handles. Find another and kill everyone in your neighborhood. No tears anywhere, grille okay. $100
Denon DCD-910 /Well regarded single disc cd machine. No remote. $40
Gateway LD-220 /DVD Player & Receiver combo one one chassis. Has speaker level outputs for all five HT channels and one set (not a pair) of speaker-level subwoofer outputs for Dolby Digital. No remote, no idea how much power, but it has a very big toroidal transformer aboard. $40
Harman-Kardon 385i /30 or 40wpc silver-faced, low-profile job. Very nice shape. $50
Harman-Kardon Model 820 /Probably 20wpc or so, UGLY ****, not silver-faced, but not black-faced either. Very good cosmetic shape, but BUTT UGLY. Same sort of looks as the early 330 receivers w/the black faux leather exterior. No wooden case. Does not sound at all like early SS, in fact, its sound kind of reminds me of the KLH receivers of the same era, maybe a little later. Kind of sweet and laid back. Missing a couple of brass knob cover things. This thing yearns for a big pair of Bozaks. $60
Kenwood KR-6050 /60wpc, silver-faced. Very nice shape and operating condition. Wood side panels. $60 (A dollar a watt.)
NAD 7240PE /40wpc, beautiful cosmetic shape. Works fine. $60
NAD 5530 /Well regarded, museum piece looking condition single disc cd machine. No remote (not equipped). $40
Onkyo TX-4500 /55wpc, silver-faced. Very nice shape. $65 (ALMOST a buck a watt.)
Onkyo TX-4500 /55wpc, silver faced. Very nice shape, but doesn’t do stereo FM. It brings in mono real spiffy though. $50 (LESS than a buck a watt.)
Marantz 2226B /26wpc, silver-faced. Gorgeous except for a little finger crud on the grooved knobs. You clean them up. No fascia scratches, no wood case. Couple lights out, not all. $160
Marantz 2238B /38wpc, silver-faced, gorgeous. No wood case. Everything works perfectly… except any of the lights. Receiver works PERFECTLY, but not a single light illuminates. $175
Marantz 6270Q /Direct-drive turntable with strobe and Pickering XV/15-625E cart standard mounted works and looks perfect. $150
Mitsubishi DA-R15 /Very nice 45wpc silver-faced stereo receiver. A sleeper if you ask me. $45 (A buck a watt.)
Nakamichi MB-10 /VERY well regarded five-disc “Music Bank” cd player/changer. Not the quickest on the draw, but dependable. Sounds very good. $50
Nakamichi OMS-1A /Well regarded single disc CD player. Might have remote, I can’t remember) $40
Philips CDR-870 /Single-drawer cd recorder. $40
Pinnacle “Digital 150” /Nice Pinnacle 10” or 12” 150 watt powered sub. Black. $150
Pioneer PD-T503 /Rare two-drawer, two disc cd player. $60
Pioneer SA-7700 /50wpc? Integrated amp w/silver face and nice power meters. Gorgeous. $100
Polk PSW-50 / $75
Samson S6 /200 watt, mono, powered, 6 channel mixer. I’d say the 200watt rating is for 4 ohms. $150
Sansui Model 8 /If the Sansui headquarters had a “museum” of their stuff in the lobby, this receiver is pristine enough to have been in there. No scratches on wood case or fascia. The ONLY cosmetic squawk is…there are tiny little rectangular placards that identify the push switches for Tape 1, 2, etc. Three of these little placards are gone. The face is not at all repugnant without them. In fact, you could insert a tiny, tiny, picture of Hendrix or Zappa, or one of Mama Cass’ ****-cheeks but not both on them and it would barely be noticeable. It is in the original all-encompassing Sansui styrofoam case it started life in. The only operational squawk is no FM in stereo. Plenty, plenty in mono though. $250
Sansui Model 1000A /Tube receiver that appears to operate perfectly. $175
Sony PCM-2500A & B /Two chassis professional DAT recorder system. No tape came with it, but both pieces look well cared for and light up just fine. Cables too. $250
Sony RCD-W500C /Five disc cd recorder. $50
Sony STR-6036 /20 or 30wpc, silver-faced. Pretty nice shape. $30 (A buck a watt.)
Sony STR-7055 /40wpc, silver-faced, and wins “Least Amount of Power Crammed into a Huge Receiver” award. No scratch fascia and wood side panels. $60
Sony STR-V4 /55wpc, silver-faced. Everything works and looks great. Beautiful fascia and knobs. $100
Sony STR-V7 /150wpc, silver-faced MONSTER. Most powerful stereo receiver Sony ever offered. Everything works fine. Fascia is perfect/near perfect. Grooved knobs have finger grunge inside the grooves, and fascia could use a light wipe down. I messed around with it a little, and determined that with a few Q-tips and an old t-shirt, I could have this thing looking like new in less than two hours. If I do that, I’m adding at least $100 to the price. If YOU do it, you don’t have to give me anything extra. Has wooden sides which are near perfect (right front bottom ever so slightly crushed), black top has minimal scratch. HUGE, toroidal transformer involved. Meters work. $175
Tascam D-20 /Looks like new DAT recorder. Comes with one piece of BASF tape. $250
Tascam 238S Syncaset /I don’t know what this thing is, but it looks new in the box. $125
Teac ZD-3000 /About 25-30lbs. of first generation single disc cd player that works and looks spiffy. $50
Yamaha CR-1020 /70wpc, silver-faced beauty looks and works like the day it left the factory. Wood case too. $250
I’ve got plenty more cd plyrs, changers, and recorders. Cassette decks, starter turntables, tuners, small speakers, and medium speakers. All working and looking perfect. I also have…
BROKE STUFF
Onkyo M-5090 /200wpc @ 8 ohms power amp. From around 1982, this amp at $1,800 MSRP is the second most expensive amp Onkyo ever offered, second only to the $5k M-510. The 225wpc M-508, a later amp, was not as expensive as this amp when made. I have had M-504’s, M-506’s, and then I got hold of this thing. It became my daily driver for the woofers on the AR-9’s as soon as I got it, and that was about eight or nine years ago. It finally gave out last month. It lights up just fine, but won’t come out of protection. I have the service manual. Fascia is gorgeous. Wood sides more than okay, but far from perfect. Has the wood Onk side panels that were just about standard for all their old power amps. $200
Technics SL-1400 /Gorgeous shape, Audio-Technica cart, original box/packing, adjustable speed is proving very difficult to get dead on w/strobe. It’s either a smidgen too fast, or a smidgen too slow, I can’t get it just perfect. Maybe you can. $50
Yamaha A-1000 /Large, heavy, black, 100wpc integrated amp that that lights up just fine, but won’t make a sound. $20 -
George,
I have dibs on that $65 Onkyo above. Haven't been able to get down your way earlier this summer because I ripped my left Achilles tendon in half, had it surgically repaired and am only now out of the air boot and hobbling along on two legs.
I'm trying to get to Polk Fest. But not 100% on that. If I do. I can probably just swing by Jersey either coming or going so no need to haul it all down to Maryland.
Will update you on my status. The Impala is in the garage, at the moment, Brake Linings, Battery and busted spring on the left front side. Years of "rust" from all the salt up here!
Thanks much!

Someone needs to grab those NADs - for $100 you get a very nice receiver that will drive anything, team it with that NAD CD player and you have a helluva garage or office rig. Grab the ADC 210s while you are there!
When George posts this stuff, it's the only time I wish I lived up that way. -
For those too young to remember some of the more vintage pieces Mr. Grand is offering above - may I just say that there are some astounding opportunities there for anyone with the chutzpah to venture down the ol' NJ TPK.
And, Dave, please don't ever let me hear you say "Someone needs to grab those NADs" ever again... -
Mark, I've grabbed a couple of your NADs in the past and I still have them. Highly recommened.
-
Hoist by my own petard! :-)
or
I guess that's what I get for dangling my NADs out there, looking for a bite... -
Some real steals there for sure, that Marantz TT is half price or more of what it should be, hell the Cart itself sells for around $200.00 on Ebay
The Yamaha 1020 is a steal also IMHO
REGARDS SNOWWell, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all

George,
If you, indeed, are coming to PF....put me down for the broke M-5090. Also, I need a garage rig type receiver for the restaurant....not picky about cosmetics...just something that makes noise.
BDTI plan for the future. - F1Nut -
I am indeed going to PolkFest, and that is a deal. Thank you.
-
Also, El Roma, if the two NAD pieces are still available come PF time (I wouldn't want to impede on a sale)....and if you have the room, I'd love to take them as well.

President, BDT Inc.I plan for the future. - F1Nut -
Roger, thanks.
All purchases delivered to PolkFest can be paid for with a personal check made out to The Githens Center and given to me. I will hand deliver your check and the full amount of your check will be tax deductible at year's end -
design is where science and art break even.
-
Kudos on donating the proceeds to charity.
If you ever decide to venture outside the "inner circle" let me know. -
I live in Northern NJ and wouldn't mind taking the trip down to exit 5 to check out the NAD pieces. Please let me know if they're still available and when you might be free. Thanks in advance!
-
The NAD items are available, and so am I on a pretty regular basis. I'm retired. Thanks for the interest.
-
George I must say you're my kind of hoarder
-
Wow, this guy has some stuff, and stuff that I would like, to bad I live in the South Dakota, nothing exciting happens here. I mentioned to my wife about the Polk convention but just thought I was nuts. Doubt if I will every go, would like to see the master mind behind it all, love polk, fan for life. I was the guy who posted a few weeks ago regarding running two CS400 with a Adcom GFA555, boy was that a good investment. I am so happy that I did that, now I actually have to turn it down now in then. It just so loud and clear, once again, polk rules.

George I think there is a fellow over at AudioKarma looking for a Sansui 8 here is a thread link http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?p=6006537#post6006537

Thank you Snow Man.
I believe there is always someone looking for a Model 8 over there.
