Monitor Audio - Silver RX2
PAIR of Large, high-performance 2-way standmount/bookshelf loudspeaker featuring an 8-inch C-CAM mid-bass driver and a 1-inch C-CAM gold dome tweeter.
The RX2 punches well above its weight thanks to an unusually large 8-inch C-CAM bass/mid driver — bigger than almost anything else in its size and price bracket, giving it scale and authority that belies its size.
Monitor Audio's reputation is upheld by the RX-2, with a wide soundstage and a full but delicate detailed presentation of the music.
A genuinely impressive speaker for the money and worthy of the audiophile cult status it has earned.
Passive 2-way bass-reflex.
6 ohm, 100W RMS.
Frequency Response: 40 Hz – 35,000 Hz.
Sensitivity: 90 dB.
Dimensions (W x H x D): 23 x 37.5 x 30 cm.
Made in UK.
This pair is in immaculate condition overall!
Regular price $899.00

Fender - ST54-140 EXTRAD Stratocaster
1988 Fender Japan ST54-140 EXTRAD Stratocaster - 2-Tone Sunburst
Rare 1988 Fender Japan ST54-140 EXTRAD, from Fender Japan's top-tier Extra Traditional series. Built as a premium recreation of a 1954 Stratocaster, the EXTRAD range sat above the regular Vintage Series and was produced in comparatively small numbers using selected materials, lacquer finishes and USA electronics.
This example is identified by matching factory STS-54 and circled-S markings to both the neck heel and body pocket, with the neck pencil-dated 8-8-88. It carries E908544 Made in Japan serial numbering and period USA CTS electronics, with one visible pot dated to the 50th week of 1986.
Features a beautifully figured one-piece maple neck with pronounced natural flame figuring, consistent with the exceptionally high-grade timber selection for which the EXTRAD series was known, 2-tone sunburst finish, single-ply 8-hole pickguard and vintage-style six-screw synchronized tremolo.
The original USA single-coil pickups have been replaced with Lace Sensors. The neck and bridge are a matching pair of early USA-made Fender-AGI Lace Sensors, with a different-production USA Lace Sensor fitted in the middle position.

Vox / JEN - MKII Professional Tonebender Silicon / JEN FUZZ / FZIII
Vintage and RARE. Circa 1973-78 - Made in Italy by JEN/FBT.
A very rare variant in the Tonebender timeline. At first this unit appears to be the VOX V828 MkII Tonebender and indeed shares the same graphics face plate as the 2nd version V828s.
However, this particular circuit varies greatly due to its use of Silicon transistors instead of Germanium, and the introduction of a Diode clipping stage. The result a fuzz that does behave and sound like a Tonebender MKII Pro, but with more bite, more treble, a lot more available volume, and far less compression when driven hard.
The same case and circuit are found in later JEN FUZZ pedals, but it is a mystery as to whether this circuit was invented firstly to fulfil an order of VOX Tonebenders, or if it was a pre-existing JEN circuit that they later badged as VOX in order to fulfil an order (the timing of events would determine if it is a ‘legit’ Tonebender variant, or a sneaky contractural obligation fulfilment).
The JEN FUZZ can be found online featuring this exact case and circuit board but with a JEN faceplate covering the 3 x slots, and JEN Italy baseplate graphic.
All Original and very cool.
