    Hi folks.

    New to this section and hope this is the right protocol.

    I gave someone a hand clearing out her late uncle's house before the skip comes tomorrow. As thanks she gave me, amongst other things, two units.

    1. Sony stereo receiver str-6040

    2. Philips cd 150/65



    I've no use for them myself and was going to put them on Donedeal or something.

    Could anybody give me a ball park figure as to what they'd be worth?

    Thanks

    Prices differ in what quality the item is in and what comes with it.

    I like to see items reused if working and not dumped as there might be a market out there for them as they are repairables like vcr.

    They look to be immaculate although there's no RC with the CD player.

    My understanding is they were working fine up till he died 2 months ago. He was in his 80s and loved his music. I'll plug them in tomorrow and see what they sound like.

    Old stuff can be better than whats out now as you hear music as the way it was supposed to be heard.

    Two speakers as well. No brand name and they weigh about 8 kg each. They look hand made. If they sound good and I can convince the mrs I might set up the Sony thing in the kitchen.

    The CD player can go.

    Just going by a quick google the Sony is from the 70s and the Philips is from the 80s. Whatever happens, I'm glad I saved them from the skip.

    I sent up the receiver and speakers in the kitchen. The sound quality is amazing. Plugged the TV into the aux.

    I'll be keeping it.

    There's also a Garrard turntable. I haven't seen it yet but I'll get it today and see what it's like.

    Wonder what other goodies he has.

    Unfortunately no. THe only manual I have is with the Sony receiver and I'm keeping that.

    No joy finding the remote for the CD deck either. It says "remote enabled" on the front so maybe the remote was optional.

    I picked up the turntable and it's a Garrard "Model SP 25 MK III. Other than a bit of dust is seems to be in good nick.

    Also I got a PYE Dundrum radio. AC Mains Model Type P 74.

    Garrard is for the bin. It was the budgetiest then, and likely hasn’t improved with age.

    Stick it up on adverts. It’ll be ignored by people who like to listen to records, but probably right up the alley of somebody who ‘collects vinyls’. Worth about a tenner, but they’ll probably pay you more. Because it’s old vintage....

    Thanks endacl.
    Kinda figured by looking at it that it was nothing special. I know a few lads that are into vinyl. If any of them want it thay can have it. Cost me nothing and I'm sure I'll get a few pints in return when the time comes.

    That Garrard was my first deck in the 80's. Wasn't long before it was replaced.
