"Collector's items".

Say no more...

BIT (or BEAT) BOLLOX

In my best Cockney accent...

Cor blimey, gov!

That 'ad me in stitches...

Or you could make classic plastic crap of the past, add an digital media multiport device..

And then export it to China.

A cunning plan Steven. I like it.

Wood or/and cardboard.

Cardboard records.

Careful with those scissors, Eugene...

Vintage Pioneer SE-L 40's....

Another great restauration project is coming my way:

A pair of 1973 Pioneer SE-L 40 cans....

It will be here in few weeks, a friend who lives in France will bring them in december when he comes over.

I remember those and the records did play on my parent's console.

Aren't hose beauts! You would think as big a Pioneer fan I am I would have at least one pair of vintage 70's Pioneer headphones around. They just don't seem to be as readily available as others. I have older Sansui and Akai (4 channel), however.

SE-L 40's..

They are beauties, but it's better to call them a "Piece of Art"...

I don't care much for their technical specifications in this case, it's all about the looks of them.

I concur.

They would also look cool if they were resting on something like this.

Miles, after so many posts regarding Headphones, they (the phones) almost deserve a thread of their own. Im sure at this point it would be a fairly large thread, just thinking back on the recent acquisitions. Not to mention the 12 or so pairs you had before all the new ones.

You're maybe right, but it's still fun to post them in this thread....

Total number of pairs at the moment: 15 (some had to go...) and this is without that Pioneer.

Those Pioneers do look quite nice, by the way Miles.

Miles - you've provided a lot of information regarding cans and that has been very informative and very interesting. I'm with Ben in regards to a thread about cans but maybe something that teaches us about the renovation of them. It is always good to learn something new.

Ahh... "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow", on the back of a Honeycomb cereal box...

Aye, those were fun...

 

[Dazen1]

I agree with the others.

I love the contributions Miles makes to the Digest, but he should definitely create a dedicated headphone thread as a point of reference.

$$$

Yes - I know this is a box set - but what is with the crazy price?

http://can.sandbaghq.com/home/can-vinyl-box-set-pre-order.html

I'm still staggered at the cost of new vinyl these days.

 

[Miracle Mile]

275 quid?

Tsssssk!

Off the Beat

Sign of the times sadly.

Hanway Street has been synonymous with record stores for years. There was a (better) shop further along called Vinyl Experience that closed down in the 1990s. I seem to recall that they also sold old prerecorded Betamax videos and 8-Tracks amongst other cool stuff.

£100 or less...

Pioneer

I have only viewed a few minutes, but this Pioneer feature looks informative. I will try and watch the whole thing when time permits.

@Nando - have you seen this before?

I covered the serialized version of this documentary in my Music Matinee feature on Tapeheads, I do believe, along with several AT&T/Western Electric short subjects from You Tube.
