Forum rules
Note that Tir Na HiFi does not take any responsibility for transactions arranged or carried out here. It is up to the seller and buyer to check each other out! Please be sensible folks, and if there is something you think is wrong, let a mod know, OK?

To make it as clear as we can, here are some simple guidelines:

a) like any forum, the success of tirnahifi is entirely dependent on discussion. All members are encouraged to participate in discussion of music, hifi, etc.
b) tirnahifi is not designed to be, nor intended to be, a marketplace. Any member who uses the site merely for selling will be looked on suspiciously.
c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.
f) THE MODERATING TEAM RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY ADS AT THEIR DISCRETION.
g) Commercial sellers should approach any of the moderation team in advance of posting. First time commercial posts without moderator contact will be removed.

Freebies for collection...

Post by Dowser »

Hi All,

Thought I'd offer these up here before going to one of the freecycle sites - all for evening or weekend collection from Dublin 4 (close to RDS). I'd intended to bring the older kit back to life, but 2 kids and a busy job means I need to rationalise - I have enough projects within my main hifi systems and not enough time... :)

Technics 635 cassette deck - never tested it, but the other kit I got with it all works fine so I guess this does too;

Wyndsor turntable/amp - tested and working. Motor could do with some oil, new belt and pots cleaning - a new stylus probably wouldn't go amiss either (although I never cleaned the existing one) - I'd intended to put this in the kids room for them to play with old singles and 78s. I have some old Panasonic 3-way speakers that go well with this too if required (but you'll need some pin and spade type speaker plugs);

Radiogram (Pye receiver Type P90) - love the look of this, and would have been a better candidate for the kids room. But receiver is not working - get a bit of static on the speakers, adjusting pots also shows them as noisy, but no sound from tuner or turntable - no time (or skill!) to fix;

On the wants side - if anyone has a budget working MM cart I'd be interested in giving a few sheckles to you for it - received a Mission 775s turntable with original 774 arm recently. I want to get it working as a deck prior to me transplanting the arm onto my LP12.

Cheers, Richard

Richard,
I'd be interested in the old PYE radio/phonogram. Basically as an ornamnet for our radio studios which is based in Dundrum (the town centre) but our first studio was in the old PYE centre in Dundrum. It just seems appropriate!
If I or any of the techie lads working there can get it working then great but otherwise it might become a curio of some kind. Would that be ok?
Again, a weekend collection.

thanks,
Ivor.

Hi Ivor - it sounds like very appropriate use of it! Weekend collection no problem, but just need to sort an appropriate slot for this weekend as we've a lot on with the kids. PM me your mobile and I'll text you.

I've got a Roksan cartridge you can have, not a lot of mileage on it. I bought it from Cloney's a few years ago and never really used it, so I reckon it only has a couple of hundred hours on its clock. At the moment I'm trying to cull the stereo equipment kicking around the place, so this would be a small but significant start. I'm in Dalkey, so not a million miles away.
