The speakers look like an IPL kit.

Unlikely to be a bargain now everyone here has seen it, though. ;-)

IPL speakers are apparently "Free" - never understood how anyone could possibly think that.

Anything included in the listing is reflected in the bidding, only if it is added after the auction could it be considered as free..

He might possibly be trying to cover himself if the speakers are faulty, though I'm not sure if eBay would go along with that.

So an valve amp built by Joe Bloggs and looks a mess, yep that's unlikely to be dangerous then :nup: :?
If it's been built correctly, it is no more dangerous than any other. Pete doesn't have a brand name, but there would be a long queue on this forum if he started producing on a larger scale.

You're OK with croc clips then :doh:

I am just saying that I personally would not touch any valve amp that wasn't professionally built, as I wish to continue to live a bit longer than touching the case when it's on.

But that's like saying professionally built valve amps never break. :dunno:

The only difference between amateur and professional builders is that one does it for profit. There are many very competent amateurs out there, and the seller here is possibly one.

If this amp has been put together properly and been in use in his own system, it is as reliable as any other. They are all a kit of parts, no matter who made them.

no, it has to be dodgy, its already been decided, the seller is dodgy, or the kit is, its dangerous and could possibly kill you.

Of course, but that doesn't usually discourage the more intrepid type of Wammer. ;-)

Quite correct. If that lump was to fall on your head, there is a good chance it would kill you.

For the record, electric shocks are unpleasant. I've had a few! But they are not all lethal, obviously!

I don't suggest for one minute that you go out and get a few to test yourself. Electricity has no respect for humans.

But please, stop with the hysteria about things that were not made on a production line by a hung over depressive with PMT. :doh:

One day I'm hoping for you to make a single comment that doesn't read like a truck full of butthurt. :^
