1990 Volvo 780 Bertone Turbo Coupe

A little about Us

Hi-Fi is a way of life here. I was born in the heyday of Hi-Fi into a home with dream gear that is highly sought today: Jensen G-610s, Garrard 301, nd custom tube electronics built by my late electrical engineer Father. One could say "I was bit by the audio bug early on"

My associates and I have dealt in high end, intage, nd professional audio electronics for over 3 decades now. As for EBAY trading, e have acted as both buyer and seller going on 14 years now! Integrity and fairness are ideals I strive for in all of my transactions, nd my decade long feedback profile reflects that fact. Our focus is on offering a few select pieces annually of the increasingly rare, ollectible, nd desirable, nd of an audio related nature. Each and every item we offer is described in accurate and telling terms - no glosssing over problems - no sins of omission. We are experts in the field of vintage vacuum tube electronics and loudspeakers and love what we do!

Why are we selling this item:

At STONE AGE STERE, e sell for a number of reasons: a certain number of items are simply offered as a matter of economics and staying in business, thers out of needing to free up space, nd finally some out of my relentless pursuit for the ultimate reproduction system, hich has required me shifting system architectures completely, nd necessitating sales to fund the experiment. Much of the gear offered comes from our personal stashes, ome is from customer trade-in and trade up, ther items are from local estates, nd finally, ome comes the way of the usual "craigslist" and garage sale sources - although the latter is a dwindling scarcity for us.

Yes, e strive to make a fair profit from our dealings here on EBAY - or so we hope, ut on the flip side, any items are sold below our cost of acquisition too. Either way, hen You purchase an item from STONE AGE STEREO, ou are also benefitting from knowledgeable, assionate folks who understand the gear offered. We are folks who know about the dangers in aging electrolytic caps - folks who know about the delicate nature of compression driver diaphragms and voice coil misalignment hazards, olks who understand why a tube amp should NEVER be operated unloaded, nd finally people who love, alue, nd treasure these items as much as You do!

Questions

We invite sincere questions from individuals who wish to become owners (as oppsed to just dreamers, uffers, nd general hecklers)! If we have failed to cover a particular detail in the auction text, eel free to ask. We try to answer questions m-f between about 10 am and 8 pm - time permitting.

Payment

We will accept Paypal on this item but prefer bankwire or other certified payment means on sizeable vintage items, specially involving export. Payment by certified means is acceptable on items picked up locally. Payment in-full is expected on all of our auctions within 3 days of auction close. We encourage You to have Your finances secured prior to bidding and expect prompt follow through. If You fall outside these bounds, lease pass us by, s we are a small "cottage" business and have few resources to deal with slow and no pays.

Packing

Getting Your item to You safely and intact is of paramount importance to us! We are skilled packers and craters and know how to PROPERLY package fragile and valuable items. Each item has it's own unique packaging requirements. We apply the appropriate method to ensure safe arrival. Our process minimizes damage risks considerably, husly avoiding headache and heartache for both of us. Large loudspeakers are generally crated and make generous use of sheet styrofoam on all 6 sides. Vintage amps, urntables, ape Decks and Preamps are typically double boxed, sing polyfoam or equivalent padding to minimize shock - tubes are either removed and packed seperately, r protected against impact accordingly.

We charge a modest fee for packing time and materials, s both cost us in terms of manpower and the materials can get costly. The packing fee is always noted in our listings, o "No Surprises"
