I did her a tale of a chap who starts to ask in detail what they are wearing

Depends on budget. Son has a Pioneer PL12D I bough as a non runner for £10, fitted a cheap secondhand cartridge I bought from a helpful chap on here he loves it. Daughter has a 80's I think Sony miss match system but she loves it I think it was £80 or £100 again from a helpful local member on...

Thanks for your offer unfortunately its looking like she can only fit something Diamond size in. I think we will now abandon the search as I feel its becoming the time to stay at home for the next few months, hopefully we can pick up this thread in a couple of months.

Thanks I will keep you posted, we are trying to fit the room out today so have to see what space we have left as we bought a bigger unit than initially thought we would, strangely enough Ikea was deserted last night.

Well due to the Corona virus she is now home so been to Ikea to buy a stand for it all, will set it up tomorrow and see what speaker room we have left

Thanks I will keep looking, I do have a set of Ram Audio speakers in the garage but she might think they are too big, hoping to find a stand for the turntable and amp this week as the current glass one is too big to bring home. Just struggling as my hands in plaster so can't drive so relying on...

Thanks for all your advice I will have a good root around. I now need to find a vintage style stand for it all.

Well a few years ago a very kind member from Liverpool found my daughter a cheap starter set up for her time at Uni. She is soon to be coming home and hasn't really got the room for the large Sony speakers it came with so what smaller ones would you recommend? Height is the issue so they don't...

I like the GSP but I have sold stuff to a man from China and posted to a forwarder in London with no issues

Thanks My Son's is 1934 so same 2 stroke 225CC engine but different frame tank etc, but as you say the 20's bits are generic as are the 30's, just been to Newark Autojumble, not a single 30's Royal Enfield or Honda XL part so bit disappointing,Couldn't even find a pair of matching old wheels...

Thats the current plan We have Frame, tank, 1/2 the forks, Three engines, two gear boxes, handle bars, seat, mudguard brackets. So the rest will have to be what we can find, he is only 19 and an apprentice so very keen and already planning how to make parts

No problem, we have the bare bones but its often depressing when you look at what we haven't got, but we have found a lot in a short time, the last owner found an original unpainted chrome tank, its lovely so it is possible, just need enough people to look in the shed and find all the bits, went...

I work as an engineer so understand your concerns, it will be well engineered and safe, we will also MOT it even though its exempt. I have rebuilt several cars and bikes so safety wont be an issue

He realises this he is doing it because he likes them and wants to ride them, he isn't in it for profit. UK law won't be an issue with such an old bike we can prove the dates of the frame and engine and this is enough to put it back on the road, Road Tax is free and its MOT exempt, but it will...
