Aah - the soft glow and warm sound of tubes, so redolent of the days of single party government, Fleet Street, the Third programme and the Home Service, two channel quality television, - well one channel since it would have been difficult to justify the epithet upon ITV - a proper civil service staffed by educated people and the satisfaction of living in a sovereign nation unsullied by the avarice of unelected bureaucrats from far off lands.

Happy days indeed.

Not to mention the nightly Horlicks.

Quite so, before retiring to a bedroom devoid of a television or computer to dream of one’s exploits that day and other great things all within in the fold of what was always expected to be this great nation- solid, reliable and unshakable.

Thanks Dave - I'll keep my fingers crossed. The Gale name was taken over by Richers at some point in history - with my speakers being from the old camp. If the fronts come off then check to see that they haven't suffered the same fate as mine did ..........

Rob,

The speakers are Gale 3030, and yes I think they did come from Richer Sounds.

Floor standing, with grounding spikes, up to 100 Watt amp. with a 4.8 ohm impedance.

The rubbers look fine to me.

I now use a Bose dock for an Ipod downstairs and a small pair of B & O shelf speakers in the office, gosh they are heavy for the size!!

Have a look around. There are quite a few outfits who refurb drive units. For e.g.:

No personal experience, but others have reported good results.
