Sorry for the very late reply! I bought a pair of RCL “Small Loudspeakers” in 1982; i still have them & use them in a small listening room. I heard a rumour that SEAS of Norway were behind their introduction; RCL being a UK Seas importer. Not seen any for sale in quite a while. I have a spare...

Hi Matt. I'm a bit of a collector of old hifi myself (stuff I couldn't afford when I was younger!). I agree with the recommendation of A&R A60. They are warm sounding, easy to service and they are now starting to appreciate in price.

Starting to think that I'll have to do the same! I will watch this thread with interest.

Still using mine that I bought new from Newark in 1982. They might be small but they are substantially built and their sound belies their size.:)

My first record player was a Fidelity Music master; BSR autochanger and onboard stereo amp giving about 3 watts/channel, plastic baffled speakers included. Bought it new in Currys for £27 in 1972. Should have saved the £27 and waited a bit longer; it's the only turntable I bought that I still...

Orange Juice was a Scottish band who had "Rip it Up" and included Edwyn Collins. Oran Juice is an altogether something different and based in the good ole USA!

Firstly you've learned the lesson that leads should only ever be connected & disconnected with the amp switched off. There are five internal fuses; one to protect the transformer, two for the DC power supply rails and two for the speaker outputs. The latter four are mounted in pairs on the...

There are so few caps in the phono stage, that it would be omiss not to replace them all, indeed, on an amp of this age, it would benefit from replacing all the electrolytics once you've tracked the fault down; it doesn't take too long. Another source of crackling are the din sockets and source...

I've got a LP12, Walker CJ55, Systemdeck, RD 80, PL12, Early Garrard SP25 & a few other decks/projects & a Roksan Radius. My ears are beyond identifying the subtle differences that exist between the better, but I can't resist rescuing a bit of history from the scrapheap. Havng recently...

Just imported it into Itunes and gotta say it sounds damn good to my old ears!

Just picked up the above one owner deck with the original Linn Basik S shaped arm, complete with original packaging and bill of sale for 35 quid. Bargain or what?:p

Internally there are two fuses for the power supply dc rails and two speaker protection fuses. I'd start by checking them, but if any of them prove to be blown, given the fault you have described I would not advise replacing the fuses until the amp has been checked over. The most expensive...

Wherabouts are you located, I know a handy engineer in the North West - me! I've repaired and serviced a few A60s and Quad 405s amongst other amps & vintage hifi gear, but I am not in the trade; I fix aeroplanes for a living and restore hifi now as a hobby, but initially built my own kit as a...

That won't be cheap!
