Last Call/PolkFest Delivery OK

George Grand · September 2012

Just about any of this stuff can be hand delivered to Polkfest.

It can also be paid for with a personal check or money order made out to the charity of my choice (The Githens Center for the Handicapped), which will make the entire purchase price a charitable tax deduction for you, come 15 April 2013.

Thank you.

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

Aiwa C50/R50/P50 /Desktop silver-face, mini-separates. C50 preamp, R50 tuna, and P50 50wpc power amp. Gorgeous shape. $125

Akai GX-4000D /Real nice looking Reel to Reel machine for 7” reels. $40

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

Boston Acoustics HD-8 /8” acoustic suspension two-ways, nice black ash cabs. Need woofs refoamed. $20

Carver HR-742 /Pristine or damn near it 80wpc stereo receiver (black) with defeatable Sonic Hologram Generator, remote included. $160

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

Dual CS-530 /Great starter table. Looks and works perfect. $50

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.)

Lafayette Radio Electronics “Stereo 25” /Real neat little SS integrated amp. $15

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

Numark TT1400 /Nice DJ table that is a Technics knock-off, soft plastic DJ cover. $75

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.)

Onkyo TX-8511 /Straight stereo receiver, gorgeous, no remote. $50

Onkyo TX-SR500 /Entry level Dolby Digital receiver. Clean, no remote. $60

Philips CDR-870 /Single-drawer cd recorder. $40

Pinnacle “Digital 150” /Nice Pinnacle 10” or 12” 150 watt powered sub. Black. $150

Pioneer C-90 “Reference Preamplifier” /It’s all in the title. No remote, no wood side panels. If going into a rack, looks perfect from the front. If not going into a rack, lack of side panels is NOT objectionable looking at all. $85

Pioneer PD-T503 /Rare two-drawer, two disc cd player. $60

Pioneer PL-510 /Works and looks great. $100

Pioneer PL-600 /Works and looks fine but needs counterweight. $125

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 PS212 /Real nice looking and working table, ready to go with AT cart I believe. $75

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

Soundcraftsman PM840 /205wpc @ 8 ohms stereo power amp, black, fan. $125

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 T-R670 AM/FM Tuner /SERIOUS looking attempt at analog AM/FM tuning, rack mount handles. $50

Teac ZD-3000 /About 25-30lbs. of first generation single disc cd player that works and looks spiffy. $50

Yamaha CA-810 AM/FM Tuner /Silver faced analog job, nice shape. $20

Yamaha CR-1020 /70wpc, silver-faced beauty looks and works like the day it left the factory. Wood case too. $250

Yamaha MT50 /Four-track simultaneous recording cassette deck, high speed ops, original box/packing. $25

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

Dual/United Audio 1229Q /Gorgeous table w/Signet cartridge that has some meat left on it. Lights up beautifully, motor hums, but platter won’t budge, just like every other Dual I’ve ever found. No cracks dustcover too. $75

Nakamichi BX-2 /Nice shape indeed, needs belts. $25

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
