John Forbes of Liverpool Sawhandle Smoothbore Adjustable Trigger .62 Calibre Percussion Conversion Fine Antique Dueling Pistol
Howdy Townpost! I have a truly amazing one of a kind piece here for sale. I bought this for myself in the US over a year ago and I had it professionally restored and fully repaired. I am now looking to sell it. John Forbes, of Liverpool, was gunmaker to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, later King George IV. And according to my research made mostly dueling and target pistols, and some small pocket pistols for only 5 years. Those years being 1805-1810. He spelt his name with I or Iohn and later switched the spelling to a J or John based on public records and some of the other examples of his dueling pistols that have sold at auction. That makes this a very rare and finely made pistol. This pistol would have cost a small fortune at the time it was made. Oftentimes dueling pistols come in pairs but it was cheaper to buy just one if they were offered as a single, and should you encounter someone who has insulted your honor and you demand satisfaction from them, they can bring their own pistol to the duel. The engraving is extremely fine, intricate and skilled. It would have taken many dozens of hours to complete and it was all done by hand. The engraving features drums, banners and spears, floral patterns, sunbursts on the base plate and lock, and a pineapple in the front of the trigger guard, which symbolizes wealth and status. Because this gun is a percussion conversion of the original flintlock mechanism the percussion hammer is engraved in a different style by a different engraver in a more simple floral and fish mouth style of engraving with gold inlay. Every screw is engraved to look like a flower and the escutcheons are also each engraved like a wreath. Overall there is a lot of fine detail with some simpler and less detailed later additions on the percussion mechanism and one spot on the side plate. The gun features gold inlay on the hammer which largely worn away. There is silver inlay on the outside of the breach, and a sterling silver wreath styled band wrapped around the base of the grip and a sliver bead front sight. The ramrod tip (which is a replacement) is silver plated brass, so too are the front stock cap near the muzzle, the rod pipe, cross key, and escutcheon around it are too. The grip baseplate is silver plated steel. The workmanship of this pistol is certainly of a quality of gunmaker worthy enough of being the gun maker of the Prince of Wales. The pistol is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it too.

Vintage 1976 Technics SL-23 Belt Drive Semi-Automatic Turntable Near Mint
Near mint condition, would be mint but there are the usual light scratches here and there on the dust cover, although very minimal. This turntable was last serviced 2 years ago with a new belt installed at that time. Recently cleaned the pitch control pots with Deoxit, keeps speed perfectly. Primary use of this turntable back in the day was to transfer vinyl records over to cassette tape. Approx 75 records were transferred then it was stored until now. Not a whole lot of use on the player. Comes with a Shure M91ED MM cartridge and stylus. You would be hard pressed to find another SL-23 in this condition. Description (courtesy of vinylengine) The Technics SL-23 is a high-quality, belt-driven turntable with a newly developed FG (frequency generator) servo-controlled DC motor with IC. The unit features fabulous wow, flutter and rumble rating and has low power consumption for greater efficiency. The static-balanced, S-shaped tonearm has the benefit of automatic return/shut-off, and has a MM cartridge combined with the head shell for high compliance support and good channel separation. Specifications (courtesy of vinylengine) Type: frequency generator servo turntable Drive method: belt drive Motor: DC motor Turntable platter: aluminum diecast 300mm Speeds: 33 and 45rpm Speed change: electronic Pitch control: 6% Wow and flutter: 0.05% WRMS Rumble: -65dB Tonearm: universal s-shaped tubular arm Effective length: 220mm Overhang: 14mm Offset angle: 22 degrees Stylus pressure range: 0 to 4g Cartridge weight range: 3 to 8.5g Dimensions: 135 x 428 x 348mm Weight: 6.5kg

Rare Mint 1985 Sony FH-5 Compact High Density Component System *Read
Cosmetically this unit is in mint condition, I would say it’s a 9.5/10. Priced to sell. These sell for crazy money, working or not. This hefty “Boombox” is actually comprised of 3 separate components held together by metal brackets and 2 detachable speakers. The heavy duty handle is removeable. Weighs 30lbs without batteries! Runs on AC or optional 10 X D cell batteries. Has 3 sets of RCA inputs, 1 is a dedicated phono input (built in MM pre-amp) and 2 are for a CD player, etc. The sound that pumps out of this thing is nuts. Components have had all the switches and pots cleaned with DeoxIT. Tested and everything besides the tape deck is working as it should. Also tested with a turntable. *Note: The tape deck is not functioning. Just had the belts replaced professionally and they noticed that one of the idler wheel assemblies has an issue. They tried to correct the problem, and it worked for a few days, then stopped working properly. Brought it back to them and they told me that it would need to be replaced. They could not find a replacement. Individual Components: TC-58 Tape Deck - Auto-reverse playback, automatic recording level, auto play and automatic sensor. ST-58 Tuner – AM/FM stereo with telescopic antenna and inputs for optional external antenna’s TA-58 Integrated Stereo Amplifier – 2 X 25 W into 8 ohm speakers on AC power or 2 X 3.5 W on battery power. Phono input plus 2 more RCA inputs. Built in 5 band graphic equalizer. APM-058 Speakers – 3-Way super wide speaker system, 4 ohm, 25W (nom) 50W (peak)
