Auction in Newsletter The following is the result of auction last week: 1. Be knowledgeable! Speaker & Enclosure Encyclopedia Published by Seibundo Shinkosha Number of bids:6, Winning bid:5,000yen The auction in this week is as follows: 1. "MJ" Special edition 'Monitor Speaker in the Future' 324 pages, B4 size, published on January 10, 1980 Regular price: 2,000 yen It is a special edition of "MJ (Audio Technology)"magazine featuring the monitor speaker. It contains articles on how to make a monitor speaker as well as on tryout listening and measurement of monitor speakers. As is usual in "MJ", it is full of graphs and measured data. It also includes detailed description on networks, such as thorough guidance of know-how on LC networks, tables of specs of each network, and categories and outer measurements of capacitors and coils. Since it is an old book, the front and back covers have a little damage, and also the scribbles on last page. http://www.hifido.co.jp/cgi-bin/auction/show.cgi?s=d&num=126&id=0512601&l=EN If you place a bid or have any inquiry, please mail to Hi-Fi Do Record Shop: Mail to: hifido@hifido.co.jp 2. YAMAHA Anchor Block YAB-1 for the GT-2000 Finally, a sought-after anchor block YAB-1 will go up for auction. Unfortunately, there are two places on the bottom without felt and as a result the bottom is not flat. However, parts for repairing are not available and the product will be sold as it is. Though not shown on the photo, it is attached with four hexagon head bolts to hold it on the main body. http://www.hifido.co.jp/cgi-bin/auction/show.cgi?s=d&num=126&id=0512602&l=EN If you place a bid or have any inquiry, please mail to Ohsu Main Store: Mail to: hifido@hifido.co.jp Closing time for auction: 21:00 (JST) on Thursday, December 15 7.
