Anyone into old Hi-Fi and vintage Boomboxes? NAD, Dual, Sharp, Pioneer, JVC, A&R Cambridge, etc.

We’re still unpacking from the house move and came across this at the weekend...

There's also a Pioneer CD multichanger somewhere.

It’s all been in storage for years and as such, is completely untested.

I have no use for it, so any advice (Council tip, eBay job lot, ‘Old Tat Hi-Fi’ Facebook group, etc) would be appreciated!

    That Amstrad amp is cool.
    (Complete rubbish audio-wise, though!)

    I'd have the A60 like a shot. Had 2 of them years ago and still have a soft spot for them. I'll gladly pay postage and packing.

    ha, yes I thought that. I was watching an old episode about cassettes this week.
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    Wonderful - I still use all my old kit like this (apart from the old jvc amp - not too dissimilar to yours but with vu meters - which has got a bit dysfunctional. I wonder if there's anyone who services vintage hifi kit?)

    Likewise happy to pay p&p for turntables, as mine went missing in a house move.

    Well someone is trying to flog a broken version of that Amstrad amp for £149:

    Might be worth getting in on that racket! (Although, pinch of salt, the last actually sold listing I saw was for £40)

    My serious answer, particularly as eBay isn't charging listing fees at the moment (until Feb 1st), would be to see what they last fetched on eBay and list them there where it looks sensible.

    The A60 is the cream of the crop, followed by the NAD amp, the Dual turntable and possibly the MS speakers. Should be able to sell these. Less convinced re the rest.

    There's a good British HiFi facebook group if you want to know about the British stuff.

    I have an interest in old hi-fi and some of that looks quite exciting, although room is my biggest issue!

    It looks like I have a similar pair of Mordaunt Short speakers - the terminals on mine need attention. The Dual record decks may get some attention on ebay. They are "proper" decks and look nice too. The Cambridge amp is a nice one as is the NAD. The one marked A60 is an Arcam (or what became Arcam) - I have an Arcam amp at the moment.

    It would be worth looking at www.vintage-radio.net - there's people there that may be interested and will also know how to repair it if they take a punt and find problems. You can sign up quite easily.

    I have one broken blue board NAD304 and a bought used green board of the same model with slightly dodgy sound.

    Couldn't quite part with them knowing that they sounded fine if there's someone to fix them. The sound flaking out thing is a known fault, I am just too much of a wuss to go inside them.

    I don't want to take the thread off topic, but @Power-Beef if you want to get some advice on them try www.vintage-radio.net you can also post requesting repair services as well as seek advice. It would be a good idea to find out what the problem might be to avoid causing damage.

    Mordaunt Short MS20, my first 'proper' speaker set!
    very nice speakers, mine ended up as near field monitors in my "techno" studio in the 90s.
    fond memories :)

    I’ve found some real bargains in recent years I guess due to the generational lack of interest in hifi separates but I suspect this is changing. A mint condition Yamaha cassette deck for £35. A Ltd run Denon amp for £20 and I really like Ruark Sabre speakers - I have a couple of sets both I paid around £80 for. The Ruark have Danish tweeters - I forget the brand but are prone to blowing but it’s always down to something avoidable like unplugging an audio cable without turning the volume down.
