I am afraid the logistics means it is pick up only and there is no list as such. Think 70s equipment mainly.

As some of you may know, Jandyt and I have just returned from a trip to collect some of the products at Bellac. We were welcomed and looked after by Steve for the night we were there and the hotel was wonderful. However Steve is moving on and is hence dispersing the collection.

How embarrassing! Very kind of you all! On the toy front, my special fountain pen has yet to make its way through customs but I have been given a jolly good Venetian dip pen with a collection of nibs that I shall be playing with! Very good trip and a series of splendid meals out. Still not unpacked the car but really only got my 7000 system.

I would use the Tape 2 socket for the DVD/CD player. Ideal spec for this. The best of the 5000/5500/6500/7000 as far as the amplifier is concerned.

Very positive review - the BL9s are now recommended in the magazine.

Actually already plugged the latest issue! And you are quite right, Ronny is a complete star! I do look forward to the write up!
