Hi NED - long time & all that. How've you been?
ao - 2012-05-09 06:08
Ahhh, it's NED. Hello matey, good to have an old-timer back. Though, I'm with Metad on the avatar.
ned.209 - 2012-05-09 07:56
lol Metad, ill get it sorted. hey all, im good, back in college studying computer science because theres actually jobs going in the IT sector.not been doing a lot with boxes, still have a heap of shells in my attic ha, some pretty sweet shells i have. worthless all.
a jeagam, an rc 550, a pana 5350, an aimor 506st i think it is, a 777, and rising.
i gave a vz and a sharp gf 9000 to my friends.
the jc is in regular use and the helix 4636 is working also. i was contemplating starting the thread to sell the shells, and then i thought twice, theyll make nice ornaments someday.
i came across this, jeez its good looking
metad - 2012-05-09 08:05
Good to see you on here again Ned
do not sell shells, when you finish the college, and get a bit more spare time, you will get back to them - you'll see.
they are good for the projects.

Redben sorry to ruin your day but if theres a box im gonna go back to work, on itll be the 550. it cost me over 400 euros! soo much money, in my attic, dead. lol.
Isolater hey, hows that Hitachi collection coming on?
my collections page is lost in the sands of time, is that how the saying goes... damn ive looked for it but its just not there. theres some of mine in this vid, my mate made it including footage we took walking through a tescos with the stereos on full, the security guard chased us, it was funny

ive lost the original footage, im hoping he has a copy and i can bang it on youtube cos its funny!
ned.209 - 2012-05-09 17:39
Redben there is nooo waaaay your gonna come across two 550 grills and woofer trims.
1 might be achievable, but two is not realistic i dont think.
you should look at old sansui or pioneer hifi speaker trims, theres loads of them on ebay, and in thrift shops. sony as well. the 550 surrounds arent chrome theyre flat silver. also if you search for , what i entered here theres a lot of stuff
redbenjoe - 2012-05-09 17:52
Ned -- THANKS for that link --
there is a huge selection of useable trims, etc in there --
and -- i agree --for me to find TWO beater-priced parts 550s-
with GOOD & CLEAN cosmetic parts --
might be impossible --
so --the new plans are to make a nice ' almost' RETRO design
