Something for everyone. Continuing the thread of “get rid” for 2019. Updated to reflect changes in availability and as more stuff is uncovered from boxes in the attic.

Quad 34/303 pre/power combo £250
The 34 includes an extra MC input module and the combo includes a bunch of cables to connect DIN to phono, a tape deck, an iPhone or anything else with a 3.5mm jack.
The 303 is a classic Wellington-bomber-construction Quad stereo power amplifier.
Cheap because: In good general shape given the age, but please read and digest the info on the 34!
After not using this 34/303 for maybe 15 years, I powered it on to run it in for a couple of hours and half-way through the session, noticed the audio cut out completely. “Weird…” I thought… and then found that the 34 had jumped from the aux input to the phono with no human interaction. I took the 34’s casing apart and saw a tiny bit of ooze from some of the soldered components on the pcb (see pics). This is a known issue with these pre-amps and is the reason for the very low combo price: Basically, you have a choice to deal with the occasional input switch and other symptoms (LEDs may show incorrect selection) and run it as-is, or you can roll-your-own fixes as and when your fancy takes you. Remedies are well-documented, can be an excuse to do some component upgrades, can make this bit of kit a personalised heirloom &c &c.

KEF bass/mid/tweeter five-out-of-six-work bundle £30
From two sources. I’ve been carting these around for years. As my original plan was to use the KEF bass drivers for a kind of Quad ESL sub extender thing AND I SOLD MY ESLs, it’s not gonna happen.
KEF B139 bass drivers. Heavy, large (size is 330mm x 240mm) and tatty.
Working. Not perfect - one sounds a little more ‘brittle’ than the other - but then, they’re not costing you £200 a pop (inc VAT).
KEF T15 tweeters. Were working when I got them, I haven’t tested since packing away. So I am bundling them as-is. (diameter is 95mm at the widest point, 85mm is what’s presented).
KEF B200 SP1014 mid/bass drivers. One works, the other appears to have some cone separation and doesn’t, the bastard. Bundled.
