I have a CD4500 with a burned out power supply if anyone wants it. The glass panel also got broken so is no longer there. I've obviously no idea if any other parts are working as I cannot power it up. It is a UK version. The polished lid & case are OK - the polished lid has a few small marks but nothing at all serious. Free to collect or will

If it's from an MS6000 then it will be fine. Chris.

Faulty doesn't come even close to describing this poor thing .......... He goes on to say (& I quote) "The item is in good cosmetic condition, there are some knocks and marks from general use. Please review the photos above for more details".

I may be wrong but I seem to remember reading on here that there are 2 types of motors used with MX TV's which have a different number of pins on the lead which plugs into the TV.

[quote user="sodoi18"] Any advise on how to prevent this. Any specific way of packing it? [/quote] Not really, it would involve the seller opening the speakers & applying a bead of epoxy resin around the magnet assemblies where they are stuck to the frame of the drivers.
