Nah the cheif financial officer makes the call on that
Good brand.
South Aust company I believe.
Iāve noticed their speakers being used in a number of cinemas, particularly Gold Class.
I hope thereās a doily underneath that pot plant, at the very least ???
Yes the Krix are from SA. And have provided plenty of good service at high volume prior to kids. Thereās supposed to be something under the plant. But Iāve given up. The struggle is real.
Evidently they do a fair few commercial theatres/Gold Class etc.

Took a while to arrive, but got it this morning.

Went to a local second hand store this morning not expecting much, walked away with 7 albums for $70 including Sunnyboys - Sunnyboys (Sunnyboys ā Sunnyboys (1981, Vinyl) - Discogs) and Individuals (Sunnyboys ā Individuals (1982, Gatefold, Vinyl) - Discogs) and The The - Infected (The The ā Infected (1986, Vinyl) - Discogs). All 3 are VG+ and to say I was chuffed is an understatement. She originally wanted $15 per open to negotiation, so when she dropped to a tenner each I couldnāt throw the money at her quick enough.

Iāve started keeping an eye out in some op shops and all i ever notice are vast amounts of classical and obscure 1970ās single artists, lol.

Can certainly be like that, although I did find one half of the Beatles Rock 'n Roll Nusic without a cover in one bin. Cost me two bloody dollars.
I guess i can now start keeping an eye out for old hifi systems too !
(my wifeās gonna kill me).

Thereās actually my Grandparents old turntable and speakers still at the āfarmhouseā but last time i had a brief play with it i couldnāt get it to work. A more concerted effort now needs to be made next visit.
Bloody hellā¦
Post #3 of the thread (the image has expired now). More than five years ago, my parents gave it to meā¦and now after no interest from hi-pages and many specialist hifi fixerers in Melbourne, Iām finally getting it back in working order.
I was told the turntableās ā ā ā ā , the wiringās ā ā ā ā , the speakers are ā ā ā ā ā¦
And a place in Horsham have fixed it for me, probably the same shop it was bought from.
Took them four weeks, but that seems pretty good to me.

Would this be worth restoring?
Iām guessing probably not.
Itās been in disrepair for decades.
My brother and I saved up our own money (delivering junk mail) to buy it.
It was pretty damn good at the time.
Notā¦you knowā¦Tom Cruiseās dadās level, but still pretty damn good.
Edit: actually the one we had was a five band GE, but otherwise very similar.
Wellā¦yeah.
The turntable is the wrong way round.
Iād still buy it though.
Edit: changes perspective ohhhhhh.
Iād definitely buy it.
And get in trouble.

You guys should check out multisonic in high st thornbury (thereās probably loads more places). Got your storage needs covered with options. They also had this mad coffee table that you slide the top back to reveal mirror lined a bar that holds about a dozen bottles.

I played the sh*t out of ABBA Arrival on a player just like that at my grandparents place in the 70ās.

If I had to guess Iād say the radio and amp might work, but the turntable and tape decks would be stuffed (rubber belts more than likely perished).
Youād probably spend more getting it looked at than getting individual components off Gumtree or FB Marketplaceā¦
