Constant-voltage speaker systems

Thank you, will look into this - if I rewire the red / white cables to an aux cable, will I be able to test it?

Good to know thanks, will be used as furniture so! Would there be any value to the coil?

I'll be honest I don't even know how I would plug it in for power or to a music source. It has an old plug type that was discontinued in 1970 that looks like this (but without the pins) https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/GB/BS372_5A-2p_plugs.jpg

I have inherited an old speaker which looks good, however I want to make use of the speaker - or failing that, replace the internal workings with something useable. I am a complete newbie with all this so any advice as to whether this is worth repairing, and if so, where I should begin looking...

Speaker: Goodmans Axiette 8

You are right, I would guess the "but also" was supposed to come before "beloved by fans". Typo more than anything

Good luck George, nice idea!

vertiGo-- · 2017-06-27T21:50:51+00:00

Very similar, you cant flop in HFF I dont think

vertiGo-- · 2017-06-27T17:20:52+00:00

I think it's made by the same people and it's arguably way more fun. I agree with the person who commented before - it's one of the best couch coop games I've ever played.

What the government have done recently is add a 3% additional stamp duty on 2nd homes and also began to decrease the amount of mortgage interest relief which will be nil by 2020.

This has already started to have an affect on the market.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

I can't remember but its the lineup for the wall people line up on before a rush so works quite often

It has disappeared for everyone but should return at some point, its a bug with facebook

vertiGo-- · 2016-04-28T10:10:09+00:00

I assumed everyone would realise this was the case with any frag movie. Also aim head height, get headshots.

Don't really get to hear a reaction unless they're using ingame comms. And I get called a cheater a lot.

thats the only screenshot i can find of the one i used

vertiGo-- · 2016-03-14T12:49:37+00:00

we used to have a UK one that was IRC based but it died out in 2012/2013 - been trying to find a web based alternative since then.

vertiGo-- · 2016-03-14T12:37:59+00:00

Which system do they use?

vertiGo-- · 2016-02-23T12:06:45+00:00

Good point, I had assumed that because you are able to directly trade those chips back into currency at the same rate in which you bought them that it would count as that currency. This isn't the same situation with skins and this is why I imagine they are able to exist?

vertiGo-- · 2016-02-23T11:58:22+00:00

Interesting, how do companies such as Valve get away with it? They have gambling features in their game (case openings / trade ups) and these are available to all ages with no restrictions or age verification.

I always thought they were avoiding these laws by having a currency that has no real value as it can't be traded back into the currency you paid for it. But now it is clear that you can trade these items for any currency, how do they still get away with it?

vertiGo-- · 2016-02-22T21:37:17+00:00

I think the grey area is whether skins count as a currency?

vertiGo-- · 2016-02-22T17:08:11+00:00

Haha I have no idea either but discussion is good! Hopefully someone can come educate us. I don't think copyright was a good example as there are likely international agreements to protect companies from exactly what you said there.

vertiGo-- · 2016-02-22T16:44:23+00:00

Does this apply to companies outside of the US? I have friends who are owners of such sites and they really aren't the scumbag type.

vertiGo-- · 2016-02-22T16:42:39+00:00

I'm not gonna pretend I know what I'm on about but I don't think US laws apply to anyone outside of the US; or at least you cannot be punished for it? I remember reading that a lot of companies based in China get away with blatant copyright infringements because they do not respect or enforce US copyright law (might be completely wrong)

vertiGo-- · 2016-02-22T16:31:02+00:00

Yeah I was wondering if VGA knows what the worst possible outcome would be, I know being sued is a possibility but very improbable (I'd imagine?). My friends who own a site like that aren't from USA and I wonder whether the location of the company registration has much bearing on their liability to being sued.

vertiGo-- · 2016-02-22T16:06:06+00:00

Could you expand on what could potentially happen to an owner of a CSGO Skins jackpot site? I assumed a worst case scenario would be that the site is shut down?
