For Sale: Vintage Quad hi-fi amp/pre-amp/tuner

**SOLD**

QUAD 405 power amp, 33 pre-amp and FM3 tuner all in good working order, checked out by my colleague who is an electronics boffin, all capacitors firing in the power amp. Good condition cosmetically, a few scratches here and there but pretty clean. Random selection of interconnects and the weird mains cables Quad used back then. £120 collected from SW11 or SE1.

crykkes ,, dirt cheap

Gaaah I threw away one of these power amps a wee while ago. Partly cos I didn't have any of the funny cables.

I regretted it immediately.

so, BUY IT THEN! :)

okay if anybody has in their garage flattish grey or bronze metal boxes with what looks like lightbulbs sitcking out of the top and quad writen on the side can i have them please rather than you throwing them out. thank you.

sorry if i missed something.

so, BUY IT THEN! :)

i would be buying it to sell it again and pay a bill. if nobody buys it within a week let me know then i wont feel bad about flipping it.

Tempted by this but the special cable issue is a bit of a worry- do you have to use impossible to find cables for everything?

Yeah we need a photo of the back!

oooooh....i had the baby power amp.....always coverted the 405......and the FM4....more than the FM3.......sadly no where in my house to use it........unless i can boot out my step-children......pity...great price.....piece[s] of wonderful ...British hi-fi history up for grabs here.......so gentlemen and women of the forum please make an orderly queue please!

I really want this... Gaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Amp to pre-amp = 4pin DIN (supplied)
Pre-amp inputs on 5pin DIN (breakouts from 5pin DIN to phono/RCA supplied)
FM3 to pre-amp 5pin DIN male-male (supplied)
Mains input to pre-amp - Bulgin 3-pin (supplied)
Mains to power amp - standard IEC (supplied)

What's not to like? If you want to get 'fancy' you can still get gold plated DIN plugs etc. but there's everything you need to hook it up in the box, it's just not very pretty.

...it's just not very pretty.

you're kidding? i'd buy it just to put on a shelf if i had the space...

what's the material/finish on the cases, it's pretty hard to tell from the pictures?

the cases are metal (steel I think), the finish is a tough semi-mat look, like anodising.

and of course t'Bay

bargain, even if the caps do need replacing.
