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.”

CERWIN VEGA SPEAKERS
CERWIN VEGA DX-7 DX7 STEREO SPEAKERS
Radial 'horn' tweeter
& Fresh, New and Correct foam suspension on the woofer
Made in USA
 Circa mid 1980-84
for sale
BIG and BIG sounding Cerwin Vega "HED", DX7, 3-way speakers! They are capable of high volume levels while producing "pounding" & "tight" bass with great balance on the top and mid end. Great balance too.
Our speaker tech has completely gone through and 'Certified' these. Both woofers have NEW, fresh foam surrounds. All drivers were removed and tested individually. Since the woofers just had new surrounds installed, they should be good for many years.
The original / OEM fuse 'pop out' fuse holders still intact and holding fine on this pair. Cosmetically, they're in decent shape. There's a few minor edge dings, (mostly to the rear edges) (see above photos). The grills were cleaned & the wood grain, vinyl wrapped cabinets in great shape, again with only a few minor nics / scuffs. The grill fames and locate pins all in good shape with no breaks or missing pins. Overall the original, black knit in good shape.
Next, as always they were tested with 20-20k White Noise, swept them with our AF generator from 1Hz-5kHz to find any any extraneous vibration or acoustic anomalies.
Then came our standard, 'issue exposing' and on some levels, 'abusive' test recordings. These speakers are ready to go!
 We auditioned this pair extensively and 'THEY DELIVERED' as expected, but additionally adding the 'gasketing' really 'tightened' up the cabinets and cleaned up the bass response.

Our demo cuts included the following; Dire Straits' "So Far Away" from their album 'Brothers in Arms' album,
Donald Fagens, "I.G.Y." from the album "Night Fly" (solid and snappy reproduction), '24K Gold Edition of Jennifer Waren's "Famous Blue Raincoat' (the saxophone was bright and smooth),
TLC's "Scrub" from their album 'Fan Mail' (did 'sub-bass' note @ 1'25" & 1'35" VERY WELL),
Allison Kraus and Union Station's "Baby, Now That I've Found You" (I expected this to be 'beamy' in the mids, but was upfront and natural),
Cowboy Junkies ‘Sweet Jane’ (nice and open’),
Don Williams' DDD version of 'Country Boy' (good, ‘up-front’ in the soundstage),
Calvin Hampton's, "The Wedding March" from "Digital Pipes, The Splendor of the Organ", a digital recording of a cathedral pipe organ (HUGE!),
Trapt’s “Headstrong” (was ‘solid’ and the woofers exhibited no sign of fatigue even at upper power levels)
Most of the cuts from Michael Jacksons' 'Number Ones' such as "Bad" "Beat It", and "Smooth Criminal", were ‘strongly’ reproduced,
Van Halens' cut "Drop Dead Legs" from the CD "1984" ROCKED!

Nickel Creeks’ “When in Rome” from their CD "Why Must the Fire Die?" (was 'open and up-front'),
and a few others, all digitally recorded and some 'DDD'.
 Incredible power handling characteristics for a speaker this size. They are able to handle "power" better MUCH than your average speaker. Not simply referring to their wattage rating, but just the way they perform at higher power / volume levels without "falling apart" sonically. We 'stood' on them HARD with our test Hafler 500 watt power amplifier. 'Solid', punchy and 'tight' low-end, with no 'mush'. Great balance, detailed sound reproduction and very little LISTENER FATIGUE!!!
Fabulous 'all around' speaker for vintage or modern stereo systems.

for sale

ü Our technician has completely and EXTENSIVELY gone through and 'Certified' this unit which involves removal / disassembly of the transport, cleaning inside and out, removal / disassembly of the transport, cleaning and re-lubricating all internal mechanisms and the balance of efforts listed below.

ü Heads inspected for excessive wear (obviously we do this 'early on' as 'excessive' wear will usually negate any further restoration work).

ü Discovered loose ground in power supply PCB causing later difficulty in adjusting levels and causing intermittent noise when deck was moved around

ü Adjusted internal power supply from 11.61 to 12.0VDC

ü Counter belt - NO counter belt. It's *GEAR DRIVEN!!! (means no counter belt and MOST importantly, NO idler tire(s) to worry about. That's a BIG deal!) 

ü Capstans cleaned / burnished 

ü Main Capstan / Flywheel belt replaced originally with #FRM10.2, then found deck performed better regarding speed accuracy and Flutter with #10.7 belt.

ü Main pulley end bushing lubed.

ü Rubber pinch roller mechanism bushings & axles cleaned of old, stiff lube, reconditioned and re-lubed. 

ü All internal pots, switches and controls cleaned and tested for noise-free function. (Pre/Post and Tape/Source switches required disassembly and removal of front fluorescent display to access for cleaning. This step alone took 2 hours)

ü All Fluorescent displays and LED's working fine.

ü Both hub spindles in perfect alignment

ü FF, REW, & Play transport functions all test perfectly and controls tested for 'positive / accurate' responsive.

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.

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.

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.

ü Both Internal Record amplifier channels adjusted with Volt meter, O-Scope and sine-wave generators and 'pink / white noise sources'. Both channels now even output.

ü Pinch roller and heads all in GREAT condition!!!

ü Speed adjusted to 99.7% accuracy BOTH directions, with with TEAC MTT-257H 1kHz factory calibration tape (meaning 1kHz calibration tape plays back at 1003Hz +/- 1 Hz. The service manual allows for an error range of +/- 23Hz! Yuck!!!)

ü Pinch roller re-surfaced, and in GREAT condition!!!

ü Playback meters zero with factory test tone tape.

ü Tape Counter and 'Memory' Function tested

ü Floor noise measured at -69dBm

Following service / fine tuning;

ü Recording tests performed with Maxell High-Bias UDXL-II (Gold / Black) Tapes w/ output set to ~2:00 PM.
Here’s the results;
Maxell UDXL-II: 1KhZ with No NR @ +2dB; L= 0dB & R= 0dB R with virtually no artifacts

ü  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, cleaned and re-lubed

ü Drive motor completely disassembled, cleaned and re-lubed.

ü Steuerpimpel replaced (this is a 'MUST DO')

ü Steuerpimpel glider pad in fine shape, and fully operational
 
ü Platter bearing disassembled, cleaned of old lube and re-lubed.
 
ü Gimbal bearing, counter weight and anti-skating all adjusted and verified for accuracy.
 
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: Synchronous, Split/4-pole Motor, with 'Radial-Elastic' suspension
Drive: Idler Tire / Rim Drive
Platter: Non-Magnetic, Dynamically Balanced. Weight 1.8Kg / 4lbs!, 270mm
Pitch Control:  6% (again DOES NOT utilize a 'toothed belt')
Wow & Flutter: +/- 0.09%
Speed Accuracy deviation: <0.09%
Rumble: Un-weighted: -42dB  / Weighted: -57dB
Tonearm: Extra-long, torsionally rigid metal arm, mounted on 4 point Gimbal type on vertical needle bearings and horizontal ball bearings with hard, and polished races. Dual 'Sled Head' headshell.
Cartridge: Accepts all 1/2" mount with a weight of 1-12 grams (incl. mounting)

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 / Changer" tall spindle we ordered from Europe and 'short / single play' spindle and a pair of 'up-graded' RCA interlinks. Measures 18" wide x 16" deep x 9" tall and weighs a heavy 16 lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 90 day limited warranty.

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 test tape (meaning 1kHz calibration tape plays back at 1000Hz +/- 1Hz) (utilized TEAC MTT-257H)

ü Floor noise measured at -60dBm

So again, this deck was ultimately passed as a 'Playback' deck.

Total technician time to restore ~19++ HOURS! (YES, OUCH!)
  ____________________________
  
This deck is the commensurate deck for other Marantz components such as the Marantz Escotec SC-7, SC-8, SC-9, SC-50 0 SC-2000 Pre-Amps, the SM-8, SM-500DC, SM-2000 Power Amps, EQ-20 Graphic Equalizer, PM-8, PM-450 or PM-730 Integrated Amps, ST-500 Tuner and many others. I sold all of those components when they were new for a Marantz dealer. If you're building that system (or already have most of that 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 Recording***

- Dolby-B noise reduction built-in for recording*** and playback

- Tape Counter
  - True “WORLD AC POWER"™
   as it will work on both 50 or 60 Hz AC and voltages from 110-240 Volts AC
*** again, at this point a moot point as its best for Playback purposes

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).

STEREO SPEAKERS
SYSTEM 300
Circa 1981-'85
Made in USA
CURRENTLY HELD FROM SALE
for sale
A bit short in the looks department, but long on sound.
We have completely tested them with both recorded material, W/N 20-20k and swept them with our AF generator. These Jensen "System 300" speakers are very accurate and impressive sounding.  Features:

- 9" woofer
- 1" cloth soft dome tweeter
- Acoustic Suspension cabinet design
- 8 Ω

Foam surround on 9" woofer in fine shape with years life left in it before it will need to be replaced. Medium-dark Oak wood grain vinyl wrap finish in decent shape with a few normal scuffs and dings. Nothing too  distracting from overall appearance (see photos). Original brown grills in fair shape as well with normal amount of snags for 15 years old and unfortunately the small plastic Jensen badges are missing. Grills also have minor, light colored staining on lower 1/3 of each. Speakers test and sound great. Each measures 23" high x 13" wide x 10" deep and weighs a 23 lbs unpacked. Includes our standard speaker warranty ( excluding problems due to under / over powering).
