Tannoy PBM 6.5
The Tannoy PBM 6.5 much used by studio's worldwide
"The transportable and extremely powerful PBM 6.5 is the result
of many years of fine tuning of the PBM concept. Featuring a
unique layered injection-molded bass driver and a superb high
frequency unit, the 6.5 is the ideal monitor for almost any
project production environment. The drivers are controlled by a
completely redesigned hardwired hand selected crossover
providing uncompromising detail, precise spectral resolution and
flat response...The fully radiused
and ported cabinet design reduces resonance and
diffraction while providing deep line and extended bass. When
quality. accuracy and the legendary Tannoy sound are available
at such a remarkably reasonable cost, there is simply no other
choice."

I have a pair of PBM 6.5mkII.
They served me very well for many years. Musical and practical
speakers.”
“I use Tannoy - PBM 6.5 for
mastering and it works great!!”
“I can't say enough good
things about these dynamos. I have used them in my row
home at ungodly listening levels as well as at a nice
respectable volume. They are clean, clear, transparent and
really natural sounding. It's what a studio monitor is supposed
to do, add nothing other than what is contained in the program
material. Where they really shine is with vocal, midrange and
horns. Crisp, sparkly, shimmering highs explode from these in a
way that belies the diminutive size. Best when elevated and
placed carefully away from a rear wall as the rear firing bass
port's placement is the key to the bass definition. Never tiring
to listen to and a great value.”
“I own a pair of PBM 6.5 for
recording and mixing purposes for the last 19 years!!! The
response and image projection is outstanding considering price
range. For they are a classic for music and post
production….They are as important as Yamaha's NS-10m. Without
wearing my ears out.”
“I loved my PBM 6.5s - used in
studio and for listening.”
“Thanks for the web site! I
bought mine "used" from a music center that has since closed
down. The where used for the first city fireworks extravaganza
here in Houston TX as monitors for some famous composer that put
all of music together. I was told he was pushing 1000 Watts
through them. When I heard them, they were playing through a 400
watt system with clarity I never heard before in regards to
monitors. No coloring of the sound make mixing perfect. EQ
later. Play them through a straight amp and put at least a foot
of space behind them with no foam or baffling.”
“I loved my PBM 6.5s - used in
studio and for listening.“
“I have had my pbm's for at least 15 years and they are still
the only ones I have in my home project studio. Still going
strong.”
“I have had my
PBM 6.5 for 25 years and they are
still going strong. I use them in my home studio Dj'ing and
mixing music.”

for sale
Original observations / conditions:
"Very dirty outside. Stiff PR arm. Playback un-even from L
to R. Both trident spindles bent.
Transport cam dogs in good shape. Typically dirty &
intermittent pots / controls. 60Hz hum on
1 channel. Auto-Reverse mechanism for head movement sluggish
(too sluggish to be usable and causing the afore mentioned
"hum"). Right channel meter 'wigs' out upon initial
power-up. Missing both transport control handles. Missing
pinch roller. Voltage incorrectly set to 110VAC (should be
117 or 120 VAC).
ü
Our technician has
gone through and 'Certified' this unit.
ü Internal
fuses checked for continuity and correct values. No issues found,
fortunately. We don't like seeing incorrect fuses having been installed
in a unit as that could mean it had prior issues, or if a fuse value was
'increased' it could have allowed too much current through an 'ailing'
circuit causing un-due / un-necessary damage.
We also set the voltage selector to correct, 120VAC.
ü We
have completely and extensively gone through the mechanicals
and electronics of this unit.
ü Internal
Transport 'cam dogs' on this deck are the 'later'
versions and resistant to deterioration (MUCH UNLIKE most
other Akai decks) (in fact, these are in
perfect / NEW condition inside)
ü Entire
transport was disassembled down to the chassis, and every
mechanical part was removed / disassembled, cleaned,
re-lubed with synthetic lube and reassembled.

ü pinch-roller
mechanism completely disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed
ü Capstan
& flywheel removed, bushings and axel cleaned and re-lubed
ü Flywheel
thrust bracket removed, bearing surface cleaned and
re-lubed, then reinstalled and adjusted.
ü Both

pins straightened
ü Drive

then
resurfaced / reconditioned, and lubed prior to re-install
ü Heads
have been cleaned and de-magnetized as well as the entire
transport.
ü Brake

ü Brakes
adjusted on fast wind modes also.
ü Back
tension adjusted on both reel tables.
ü Brand
new, MCM #42-860 'Main' drive /
capstan belt installed
ü Brand
new, #041 'Tape Counter' belt
installed
ü 'Tape
Counter' cleaned
& lubed to eliminate typical
'counter rattle' noise.
ü All
transport functions now test perfectly, following above
adjustments, Reel Start and Stop tested at beginning, middle
and end of 7" tapes
ü Internal
pots, switches and controls cleaned and tested for
noise-free function.
ü Both
spindles in perfect alignment, with minimal wobble and no
missing fins
ü We
also adjusted the reel table heights.
ü Meter
lamps replaced with new #25-500
ü Heads
cleaned and de-magnetized (as well as entire transport) and
are in great shape as well, with many years of performance
left in them.
ü Mic
/ Line control pots cleaned for static free performance
ü Deck
has been fully calibrated to factory manual specs adjusting
PB levels, Meter adjustments, Bias / Frequency adjustments
(VC1& VC2), and internal record levels, tested, with
Nortronics, Panasonic, Sony, Soundcraft, STL, TEAC and BRL
alignment / test tapes (see resulting record level listed
below). Biased best for Ampex GM456 / ATR Reference tape and
records on Maxell UD also very well. Best performance when
recording at -3dB (most manufactures test at -20dB).
ü Speed
tested to .996% accuracy (1kHz =
1.004kHz)
ü Floor
noise measured at >-54dB following
above procedures
ü Following
the above work and calibration, Recording tests performed
with Ampex GM456 (again, same formulation as new ATR tape)
and Maxell UD (Gold / Black) Tapes.
Here’s the results;
Maxell UDXL @ 7.5ips. 1kHz @ 0dB = L=-4dB L & R = -1.0dB
(best to record @ -3dB on 'Source')
Maxell UDXL @ 7.5ips. White Noise @ 0dB = = L=-3dB L & R =
-0.5dB (engaging "EQ" adds +5dB L&R)
GM 456 @ 7.5ips. 1kHz @ 0dB = L=-2dB L & R = +1.5dB (best
to record @ -3dB on 'Source')
GM 456 @ 7.5ips. White Noise @ 0dB = = L=-2dB L & R = -0.5dB
(engaging "EQ" adds +5dB L&R)
We then tested Ampex GM456 with Recorded program from "ddd"
source extensively and deck performed well. I know that a
'copy' CANNOT sound better than the source, but I swear that
repeated recordings seemed to be "fuller" sounding than the
'source' material.
ü This
Akai GX-210D functions, plays, and
records perfectly (and we really put them through the paces,
testing both with well mixed, recently recorded CD material
and CD recorded / factory test tones looking for correct
head Azimuth and speed accuracy). (Total time investment in
refurb / testing ~ 15+ hours).
____________________________
Looks GREAT & is "Ready-to-go"! Will play / record stereo
1/4" tapes on reels 3, 5 & 7". This is one of the few reel

to "actually use" here you go. Only about 25% of the used
Reel decks out there can be "practically" restored to
working order.
This one made it through and all functions test great! Looks
and sounds great too! Deck looks good with a few minor
cosmetic issue; A bit of discoloration to the face metal if
the light is angled just right, a minor dent in the face
panel about 'mid-deck', a bit of dry cracking on one of the
rubber reel trims, and the back edges of the side panel,
wood grain, vinyl is peeling a bit (see photos above).
Nothing too distracting. And again, following the extensive
refurbishment listed above, the deck works and sounds great!

Our technician has EXTENSIVELY gone
through and 'Certified' this unit, cleaning inside and out,
lubricating mechanism, adjusting tone arm lead out and testing
performance.
ü Entire automatic mechanism COMPLETELY
disassembled, de-greased, cleaned and re-lubed, (never an easy
task on 'auto' turntables) including; the 'Actuating Slide and
Pawl', and both plates.
ü 'Speed Change' mechanism disassembled, de-greased,

ü Tone arm Lead-In and Lead-Out.
ü Tone arm bearing perfectly smooth in operation.
ü Idler position centered for more positive speed
positioning w/ selector.
ü Original Dual Changer / Stacker Spindle inspected,
re-lubed with 'dry lube' and EXTENSIVELY tested on multiple
tables (see below)
ü Burnished RCA output connectors under chassis
ü He also replaced the anemic, factory RCA cables, with
some much higher grade, fully shielded interlink cables, w/ 24kt
gold RCA connectors.
ü Original platter mat warp & bubble free.
ü Re-glue, and Lemon Oil Teak wood veneer case / base
ü Proprietary Dual 'cartridge sled' inspected, and had
both mating contact sets burnished (primarily to address 60Hz
hum)
ü New Shure M91-E, Elliptically cut, Diamond Stylus,
installed on the Shure 'magnetic' cartridge. Tracking and Bias
force also re-set to 2g.
ü
Tested / analyzed and passed for motor noise and 60Hz hum.
ü Speed checked and verified for accuracy with
technician's factory test strobe disc.
ü He also did an 'orbital buff' to the dustcover and it
looks GREAT! Has cracks at each rear corner that have been
'plastic welded' solidly back.
ü Table cosmetics detailed.
ü
Unit tested with our myriad of test records, one of which included;
Shures' 'Cartridge Obstacle Course' record
Restoration entailed approx 17+ hrs w/ followed with about MANY
hours of testing w/ many albums (mostly because we enjoyed
having a 'quality' changer on one of the test stations to listen
to).
As this turntable has a 'magnetic cartridge' (unlike most
'stacker / changers' which have 'crystal / ceramic / piezo'
pickups) you can readily connect this table to any receiver or
Integrated amplifier input. For a basic system, or wanting to
get introduced or re-introduced to stacking vinyl records, this
is a great table.
You can readily connect this table to any receiver (including
'modern / A/V / Home Theater receivers) or Integrated amplifier
with a standard magnetic phono input, or an external Phono
Pre-amp. To connect to computer for burning CD's just order one
of our inexpensive
Phono Pre-Amps and cable kits.
Plays 16, 33, 45 & 78 RPM records. Selects 7", 10" or 12"
record size. As stated above, this table has had EXTENSIVE
refurb / restore work. Cosmetically, the table looks great.
Again, our turntable tech has
completely and EXTENSIVELY gone through this table (total tech
time ~17+ hours).
Following, and ONLY DUE TO the above restoration /
refurbishment, the table starts as it should, and end's as it
should with no 'end groove hang up'! (While Dual
purports stacks of 5 LPs as 'typical', normally you should
typically only get about 3-4 on a stack with no issues, and you
won't always get '6' to work, but... this table, #2184
was test played thru 25+ cycles
and tested thru multiple stacks, with 6X LP's stacked with no
issues!!! Occasionally you'll have a record 'hang up' or
'double drop', but that's almost always due to errantly drilled,
elliptical or center holes that are 'too tight' in one of the
records.
Overall the table works beautifully and all functions now work
GREAT! We also re-installed a Shure cartridge with a brand new
M91-E stylus and optimized the table for it. (If you prefer
an up-grade you may also choose from our selection of new Audio
Technica cartridges that we can also set up and ship with it for
the additional cartridge cost.) You can readily connect this
table to any receiver, Integrated amplifier with a standard
magnetic phono input, or a Pre-amp. To connect to computer for
burning CD's just order one of our inexpensive Phono Pre-Amps
and cable kits. Again, this table looks near new and works
great!!
Famous, sought after, and one of their more 'durably designed'
DUAL 1209, fully automatic changer phonograph. This is one of
only two "Dual 1209s" that we've had in over 20 years that we've
restored (due to finally having a technician that's up to the
task). Very nice Dual 1209 Stacker / Changer / Single play,
Fully-Automatic turntable. One of the most sought after Dual's
due to it's 'simple and durable' design. Very difficult to
'break' one of thes.
These are very well built turntables featuring an adjustable
speed belt drive platter, but here's the VERY IMPORTANT
POINT about the 1209. It is one of the few Dual models,
offering 'adjustable platter speed' that does NOT utilize
a 'toothed belt'. It uses a 'tapered' motor drive pulley. The
original 'Toothed' belts, utilized by Dual on MANY of their
turntables are now 'UNOBTAINIUM' now, and any of the original /
NOS ones still floating around are likely 'dry rotted' and
useless. We've tried 'O-rings' (both single and double) with
limited success. NOT to worry on this model as it doesn't use
that system at all (and that is VERY important).
Dual 1209 Features:
-
Fully automatic operation
- Super heavy platter
- Idler tire drive (no belt needed)
- 'Pitch Control' does not utilized the 'toothed belt' that is
now ''Unobtainium'!!!
- Single play or Stacker / Changer operation (both 'single and
LP 'stacker' spindles included with this one)
- Tone arm cueing
lever
('Cueing function defeated when used with 'stacker spindle' for
safety)
- Record size selector for 7", 10" or 12" discs to adjust
starting position and as a safety to insure that the stylus is
not lowered onto the platter with out a record
- Adjustable Platter Speed control (does require 'monitoring'
chart)
- 33 1/3, 45 & 78 RPM speeds
- Low mass, straight, metal tube tone arm
- Standard 1/2" mount cartridge head shell
- Tracking force and Anti-Skating adjustable ('course' tracking
by 'weight' and 'fine' tracking by 'spring')
Dual 1209 Specifications:
Motor:

Again, as previously stated, the table has just been completely
gone through by our senior turntable technician and is "Ready to
Go"! Following refurbishment / and final inspection / sign off,
the table has gone thru a minimum of 25 play cycles, including a
minimum of 6 plays of 6x record stacks. You will not be
disappointed in this table for all around use.
Comes with and original, Dual "Stacker

ü
We have gone through this unit quite some time ago for ourselves to use,
and just ran it through the shop again
which involves disassembly of
the transport, cleaning inside and out, DISASSEMBLING, cleaning and re-lubricating all internal
mechanisms and the balance of efforts listed below
(difficult on this deck!!!).
ü
Heads inspected for excessive wear (obviously we do this 'early
on' as 'excessive' wear will usually negate any further
restoration work).
ü
Main Capstan / Flywheel belts
replaced during original service
ü
Counter belts
replaced during original service
ü
Idler tires
replaced during original service
ü
Idler tires reconditioned
during this most recent service
ü
All internal trim pots, switches and controls tested for
noise-free function.
ü
All meter lAmps and LED indicators working fine.
ü
Both hub spindles in perfect alignment.
ü
FF, REW, & Play transport functions all test and
controls tested for 'positive / accurate' responsive
is what we normally like to say, but due to the internal design of this
one, we were not able to get it to perform 100%, EVERY time.
Occasionally the 'STOP' button will have to be pressed a time or two, or
another button will need to be pressed to then be able to engage 'STOP'.
Other buttons sometimes 'hang up' temporarily, but usually selecting
another transport function will 're-set' them as they're 'self
cancelling / mechanical' with an internal mechanism that was unusually
difficult to service and get to the current 'usable' state.
ü
Heads in great shape as well, with many years of performance
left in them
ü
Heads have been cleaned and de-magnetized as well as the entire
transport.
ü
Head alignment and azimuth at 125Hz, 1kHz and 10kHz adjusted for
BOTH directions for 'peak performance' with O-Scope and w/ STL
and TEAC MTT-257H calibration / alignment tapes. Both channels
now even output for PLAYBACK..
ü
Both Internal playback amplifier channels adjusted with Volt
meter, O-Scope and w/ STL and TEAC MTT-257H calibration /
alignment tapes. Both channels now even output
for PLAYBACK..
ü
Meters adjusted to even zero with symmetric input with Volt
meter, O-Scope and w/ STL and TEAC MTT-257H calibration /
alignment tapes. Both channels now even output
for PLAYBACK.
ü
Both Internal Record amplifier channels adjusted with Volt
meter, O-Scope and sine-wave generators and
'pink / white noise sources', however we were not able to get
great recordings. The left channel is often 'low / and distorted' on
'Recording' (sounds fine as a 'PLAYBACK' deck).
ü
Pinch roller and heads all in GREAT condition!!!
ü
Speed adjusted to 100% accuracy BOTH
directions, with with TEAC MTT-257H
1kHz factory calibration tape (meaning
1kHz calibration tape plays back at 1000Hz ± 1
Hz)
ü
Pinch roller re-surfaced, and in GREAT condition!!!
ü
Tape Counter works well
ü
Speed adjusted internally to 100% accuracy with 1kHz factory

system) and need the matching cassette deck (for Playback), then here
you go. This one is probably as good as it's going to get, as I don't
know of any tech's who would be willing to bring one any further to
completion
Marantz SD-3510 Features include:
- Retractable, Drawer Tape transport - Adjustable
Fine Bias Control for

- 'Soft Touch', mechanical transport - Dolby-B
noise reduction built-in for recording***

-

Ferro-Chrome & Metal tape
- Tape Counter - True “WORLD

Normally we would completely refurbish / restore
a table. This one had two 'cosmetic' issues that were beyond our
'skill sets' or we simply didn't want to tackle. The first, and
primary issue for us was the surface oxidation on most of the
table, but especially the tone-arm. It simply wasn't practical
for use to try and rectify or pursue. Second issue was the
'checking / flaking' of the original 'tinted finish' on the
base. We have a guy that could have re-finished it for us, but
then we're back to the 'oxidation' issue that we weren't going
to address, so we would end up with a great looking base, but
the balance of the table's cosmetic issues would now 'stand
out'.
I have an affinity for this table, as every time I go to 'High
End' audio shows, it's the table that is used by many of the
speaker, cartridge, phono-pre-amp and amplifier dealers /
manufacturers as they're way of demonstrating their gear. Part
of my thought process is to keep it for myself (I don't mind my
gear have a bit of 'cosmetic character / battle scars. Most of
my old favorite guitars and Amps have plenty of 'road rash'),
but I really don't have room for a third / fourth table in my
current system (but of course that could change). So until I
decide to keep it, it's for sale in 'working well, but 'as-is'
cosmetic condition. Again, our turntable tech has gone
through the mechanicals / electricals of
this table, and following
restoration was tested for speed accuracy, rumble, wow &
flutter, noise isolation, and tone-arm function.
Table looks good, sounds and works great!
Again, comes with Shure cartridge, but needs a stylus
(we can install something else if the purchaser desires for the
cost of the cartridge).

PRE-OWNED
BUFFET CLARINET
MODEL B12
INTERMEDIATE
STUDENT Bb CLARINET
for sale
This clarinet is modeled after the
Famous Buffet Grenadilla wood clarinets from the 'old day's'. When I worked
for a 'full-line' music store thru the 1990's, we would periodically have a
'vintage' Buffet come thru and they never hung around long once serviced for
re-sale. It is what most clarinet players asked for. That and Yamaha's.
This is a Buffet B12 clarinet, again, designed after the 'vintage' horns
for the student / beginner and into the intermediate market.
The Buffet B12 clarinets are made from ABS resin with an appearance
and sound similar to that of genuine Grenadilla wood. These models are
lightweight, strong and easy to clean perfect for even very young players.
The Buffet B12 model has a very attractive and traditional design
with nickel-plated body rings, straight key work and a traditional bell
ring. The body is buffed to give the appearance of wood.
The nickel silver key work is cold forged and induction ered,
providing greater stability, precision and quality. The B12 model is mounted
with double fish skin pads which ensure excellent sealing.
Features:
- Nickel plated keys, body rings & plated bell rings
- 65mm barrel
- 14.65mm poly-cylindrical bore
- Arched key cups (same as R-13 model)
- Staggered trill keys (same as R-13 model)
- Blue Needle Springs
- Adjustable 3-position thumb rest
- Ergonomic key design: Improved playing comfort like that of a professional
clarinet
- Pointed needle springs for quality key action
- Undercut tone holes for improved tone quality and faster response
- High quality Double fish skin pads enables air tightness and are long
lasting
- Blow-molded, hard shell case
Mouthpiece Assembly with
Ligature, Cap and Mouthpiece
- Cork Grease
- Cleaning
Swab
This clarinet retails
for $925.00 (US).
