Even if the Kiseki's stylus is knackered, it looks like a find for someone willing to give it some TLC.

That's the old power supply, which was pretty poor. The later one was better. It still have the saggy top plate, though, so not sure how that's going to prevent the dreaded sag.

Brilliant Speakers, 2nd Model they made back in the mid 70's.. X-Overs have no resistors just Inductors & Caps. The board are fully Hard wired & are well big enough as to fit some nice big Ansar caps, What i did.. I would do that before blaming any unit. They are a big speaker nearly a Cube..o & btw, those Queen Anne style legs are only screwed onto the cabinet.. |

Hadn't clocked that. Not an LP12 then.
Funny old mix of kit. Naim CB 32.5, Olive HiCap, Stealth Power amps I assume.
Odd mix of Mana

Seem a good price, You can always try knocking him down a bit over the issue, thats if your happy chancing the issue! bear in mind they are very big & the sole reason i sold mine on.. Check all the units are original Castle Paper cones. They look original. The bottom row of three are Bass units, The Centre Mid Range [Smaller diameter dust caps] & ofc the top tweeter. Regarding the Crossovers. The input pod is fitted to a black finished Chipboard panel under the cabinet [Hence you need open frame stands]. All you do is unscrew the panel from the bottom of the cabinets & you have access to the board which is mounted on the other side of the panel. Like working on a Morris Minor, a doddle.  Here's another pair for better look. www.gumtree.com/p/speakers/castle-howard-mk-i-vintage-/1215225110 |
