DizRotus Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 EDIT: 07/21/19 Everything sold through eBay. The above were listed by me on eBay yesterday. Because they are left over from my “purchase” of the Hazeltucky La Scalas for @Escher, I have no real experience with their operation and condition. For that reason, my initial thought was to unload them on eBay with full disclosure rather than sell them to forum members. After some thought, I decided forum members deserve an opportunity too. I feel the BIN prices with free shipping are bargains: D 150A for $195; IC 150A for $102.50 ($135 BIN disappeared after $100 bid); and NIKKO for $145. The D 150A seems to operate properly. With direct input from only a Pono player, it powered HIPs to “call the police” volume outdoors. The IC 150A powers up, but it has so many functions I’m unable to confirm it’s full operational status. The NIKKO was able to pull in FM stations with 1 foot of zip as an antenna. Notwithstanding the description in the listing for the IC 150 A, I received the following question: “Hello, can you provide some more details please on the crown preamp. Do all functions work? Is there anything wrong with it? Thank you.” I replied that I don’t really know. I added that, were I going to put it (or any used vintage electronics) into use, I would first have service performed by a qualified technician. I analogized it to buying a used Porsche 911. A low purchase price is only a bargain if you’re prepared for inevitable maintenance. I plan to let the eBay listings run their course, which means the IC 150A is sold, but the final price remains to be determined. If you’re interested, PM me and we can talk. I won’t do anything unfair to eBay bidders, or unethical. Photos are in the eBay listings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel guilty for being too busy, too lazy, or both, to make it too easy for Forum interested members to see the photos. Now, with your help, one click finds the amp and a click on “see other items” produces photos of the pre and tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 The pre and tuner sold. The amp has been relisted. I expected the amp to be the easiest to sell. I still expect to sell the amp and break even on the Hazeltucky La Scalas purchased for @Escher. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Crown-D-150A-power-amplifier-rack-mount/303214980568 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 Seems I'm running a charity. The cost to ship all three items was nearly $200. The total sales were $469.00 with free shippng. At least they're in circulation and not in my garage or a landfill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking I could have found boxes around here and shipped all for less than a hundred to the 48 states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 The large heavy boxes went FedEx ground on my commercial account. USPS and UPS were more expensive. I didn’t check to see if Bubba had room in his Gremlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
