[SWAP] Unplayed London Decca Super Gold - wanted: Ortofon SPU or ...

[Rosewind]

Unplayed Decca London Super Gold in wood shell, upgraded from a Decca London Gold when serviced by John Wright last year before he retired. His notes on the receipt were as follows,
"1 Decca London Gold Cartridge, serial no. E9171.
Elliptical stylus worn out, vertical coils o/c.
Overhaul with Extended Contact stylus."
Obviously in a very good condition with original box.

Swap for an Ortofon SPU - preferably one with onboard transformers - but nice SPU without transformer will be considered. Must be in very good working order like my Decca cart is.

Swap preferred. I live in Denmark - so let's talk about the swap and shipping by PM.

Ortofon SPU preferred, ...

. .. alternatively I could live with a nice EMT cart ...

or an original Transfiguration cart ...

... or a 12" tonearm ...

... or a TRON MM Riaa, preferably set for a Decca cart (is it 35 or 66 kohms?)

... or a Croft Riaa or Riaa R ...

Cash offers including insured shipping around £650 will be considered.

I will be willing to travel to Stansted to make the swap. There is an AArhus - Stansted service at the moment.

Still here waiting for a swap for another nice cartridge, tonearm or MM riaa. Meet up at Stansted or in London a possibility. Will cost you a beer or two in addition to the c £650 / swap.

Has not moved a bit.

Swaps - I've changed priorities:

- Leak Stereo 20 ( + cash your way).
- Pair of dual concentric drivers with crossovers for a small enclosure Tannoy build - think (from smaller than) Eatons, to no bigger than Berkeleys. Must be in good working order.
- Unipivot tonearm (12" or 9")
- MM Riaa with settings for Decca carts (I have another two Deccas in my house).
- Step-Up that is good with an Ortofon MC200 (and an Ortofon SPU - when I finally get round to buying one).

 

[Rosewind]

Still quiet here.

Now SOLD to a Danish gent.

 

[Rosewind]

Back UP for sale or swap. The Danish gent was afraid to set up the low-riding cart. So he is going to return it.

Cash or
Swap

LEAK Stereo 20 (+ cash adjustment)

Tannoy Concentric Drivers + Crossovers (wiring and binding posts?) for Tannoy Eaton build or similar (max cabinet size: 80 cm, width 50 cm, depth 40 cm).


I can still travel to Stansted or wherever Ryan Air flies from Denmark to make the swap.
