  • Re: Any mathematicians out there?

    I'm sorry to repeat myself, but it really is as simple as this: [quote user="me"] Of course, the real probability for winning at least one prize is larger, because you are not excluded once you have already won. Unless we want to get into binomials, it's easiest to calculate the probability of not winning even once and complement that

  • Re: Any mathematicians out there?

    [quote user="9 LEE"] 120 individual prizes for 550 members. If we had a one Prize Draw with 120 prizes up for grabs, and 550 'entrants' - what would the odds be? That's the same odds but spread over a year, surely? [/quote] Yes, but it just makes it harder to count - keep it as 120 draws with one prize each, please The way I see

  • Re: Redline Ceiling Poles

    I have a pair of RL60.2's on ceiling poles at the office and they sound absolutely great! maybe a bit light on bass but I like them that way. The RLs are the same regarding mounts - only the largest (140/7000) are different, and I guess the smallest (35/1000?) as well. The poles seem pretty rare, but I don't know about how sought after.. In

  • Re: B&O in thrift shops

    [quote user="Graham1982"] Yeah it looked like the 2000 or that particular picture of it although the dial at the very least was brushed aluminium. Should I have bought it for £70 or not worth it? [/quote] In the white versions the aluminum parts are clear - maybe somebody had built a mix & match unit? I'm sure it would be worth

  • Re: B&O in thrift shops

    [quote user="Graham1982"] It was a stereo system that would sit on a table kind of like a 9500 or 9300 but was from the 1970s I think. It was edged with light coloured wood and had an aluminium fascia on which the controls were mounted. One of which was a large rotar control (about the size of a saucer or a CD). This is all from memory so

  • Re: Female sales people - anyone dealt with them? How do they rate?

    Oh it must be in the genes. I don't know how bad it is in other countries, but I know for sure that there are plenty of people in Finland who would ask for "the real salesperson" if they were confronted by a woman in a shop like this. Reminds me of my early days as CS student. I was going to complain about my grade in a FORTRAN assignment

  • Re: B&O in thrift shops

    My first B&O (the 900K) is from one. I also bought my Beomaster 1000 from the same place. At one time they also had a Beocenter 7002, but it was a bit pricey being in unknown condition, and when I had finally decided to get it and came back, it was gone already. Other than that, not much luck. Although I repaired the CD of a BC9500 for a guy who

  • Re: BEOMASTER 900K

    Good luck with the hunt, Paul - it really is a nice radio. They were sold like hotcakes in their time, so there are plenty of them left, keep looking and you'll eventually find one. Another thing that could affect the price is whether the FM stereo decoder is installed. It was originally just an option. But I'm sure many sellers wouldn't

  • Re: SMMC4

    Oh yes you're right, I remembered incorrectly - the slider is stuck at 1.0 g now. I'll need to try harder to reset it. I guess the weight of the non-existent stylus guard is compensated in the rest of the cartridge so the scale will show correctly? I'm looking forward to hearing the retipped MMC2. I sent the one with a snapped cantilever
