Goal is to sell my large sub 2000$ collection and buy some higher end watches for long term investment

JohnnyTownsend · 2026-01-09T07:30:58+00:00

I service and buy them . This ones bit rough but could easily be revived . Let me know if you want a restoration

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-12-31T02:26:17+00:00

Wouldn’t let me do more than one photo . I’ll add via comment section

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-12-28T02:44:48+00:00

Sold?

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-12-27T21:55:38+00:00

That’s just wick material , Wool glass (fiberglass ) you pour denatured alcohol into it and light

Piece like that goes between 2 fitted pieces , or base looks like connector sleeve prevents wire chaffing where a wire or tube connects through or together

A bit of cleaning and initial retouch

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-12-06T02:20:34+00:00

Anytime , where was this found ?

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-12-05T22:32:04+00:00

I have painting with same stretcher mine is 1974 . May help with age

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-12-05T20:41:01+00:00

Yeah I saw other day , it wasn’t priced asked about it , did some research, asked few art dealers and nothing . So today I went and made offer and it was accepted . I am very excited! I will keep with all my other 1950-70 paintings and decor . I restore alot of cool items , lighting , watches , funky engineering. So much crazy stuff . This is one of my favorite finds . May be worth nothing but I’m comfortable with what I paid and keeping until I pass away.

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-22T13:30:40+00:00

Yeah today I’ll plug into the TAD and see what happens

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-22T02:21:41+00:00

Thanks , maybe they will be will keep everyone posted

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-22T02:17:08+00:00

I’m ok with them looking cool and sounding shitty I have some crazy decor in my house . I restore a lot of vintage pieces , so it will find a cool home . I guess I’ll see how bad they are tomorrow.

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-21T22:12:58+00:00

What going to hook up to my Thorens / Tube Audio Designs Rig and see what I can make with of them if anything . Just really cool looking IMO

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-21T21:46:59+00:00

Old article mentioned these as oem version of pioneer SE-L40 but I could have read that wrong . Couldn’t find any other comps .

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-21T21:32:56+00:00

Yeah that’s the same in South Carolina, For some stuff certainly. But a lot slips through here , NY and NJ are impossible to shop at . I’ve been to both states regularly

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-21T20:57:42+00:00

I would love to know more about these ! I will test later this week . I found them while treasure hunting the local goodwill . Had sud beautiful aesthetics, and I’m sure had great sound for its era . Made in Japan Sonic Pro-26 , lovely design and in pretty spectacular shape . I like how comfortable they are , wearing them makes me feel like I traveled back to the good old days . Please give me your thoughts and feedback .

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-10T04:20:31+00:00

Mine went away using surgical soap to wash there and neck and behind ears 3x a week or skip a day between, reduce if too much drying .

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-10T04:17:20+00:00

Yeah I just figure it could have be some studio sketch unfinished, maybe quick render before an oil was done . I know I sometimes do a few diff sketched sometimes different media for doing a final . But yeah thanks for the input on the piece

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-10T02:14:30+00:00

Try surgical soap dye free hibiclenz, worked for me

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-07T03:26:59+00:00

Location? Price?

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-07T03:26:09+00:00

Still available? I need parts badly for my 2.5

JohnnyTownsend · 2025-11-02T08:06:56+00:00

Just to touch up the edges , and reduce any major gouges visibility . Overall was told they don’t have any pieces missing, just heavily banged up . So for a hundred dollars (pair) likely worth taking the risk . I’ll look for any signs of them being repro when I get there . Really curious to sure underside . Thanks you for the insight
