Nope, I've not got any of Barry's tunes.

I once took a girlfriend to one of his concerts though. Woodstock near Oxford from memory.

Nice find. I presume it was more than a couple of quid?

The transport works fine, all does what it should but theres a load of noise. I did get a peep of music from one channel.

Its going to want pulling apart and the boards and switches going over, lots of cleaning and fettling. First port of call is all the switches and go from there

It also has all the bits it should including the spindle sleeve.

Ill get it going with harsh language and a hammer

Wow. 3 things that immediately struck me:

1 how much?
2 how many 7" are in the list
3 how many acts/releases I've never heard of before

Surprising how many reissues are going for big money. Can't understand the Pink Floyd 'Wish you were here' - 1984 reissue - why is that worth money ?

Yes i thought the same Mark. I think this is being encouraged by all these limited edition remasters coming out now.

As ever, things are worth whatever the customer is willing to pay.

Who really needs a 1984 re-master etcetera!
