CarlBkk Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Anyone else going to the TAV hifi show this weekend (15-18 sept) at fortune? 15th floor I think. Several new interesting shops just opened up on 3rd floor for another "Bkk hifi revival". Also Mister Balance (good second hand and vintage hifi) has closed down his Pantip shops and reopened on the soi right behind Fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camelot Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Could you check the dates? This weekend would be Sept 25-28 and this time frame sounds more likely. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBoss66 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi CarlBkk, i have tried finding Mister Balance, could you be more specific on the soi behind FortuneTown. Any help would be much appreciated! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlBkk Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi tom, from mrt Rama 9, walk on Rama 9 road past fortune on your right. About the 4th soi on that side, go down it to the end and you'll see a big overhead sign saying "meechai mansion" (also seen it spelt Veechai Mansion). This is in effect behind fortune but not the very next soi behind it. Go in the building on the right, ground floor, turn left and his shop is there. Smaller than before, nothing greatly interesting. Definitely less turnover of new stock. I found him to be sticking to what I consider high prices for the age and condition of the equipment, hence why he's not doing so well. For example old jbl l15s were 12000 baht in his shop, then 6000 baht on bahtsold.com. Don't forget checking the main thai hifi buy and sell site....www.noom-hifi.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoss66 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hi Carl, thks for your quick reply, will check it out. Have a Vintage Marantz 2245 that has a broker volume potentiometer, Marantz service center says they can't fix it because the model is "obsolete". So in the market for something similar. just took a peak at Noom Hifi, unfortunately my Thai is non-existent. kind regards, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Have a Vintage Marantz 2245 that has a broker volume potentiometer, Marantz service center says they can't fix it because the model is "obsolete". It may be worth checking with Marantz in Europe to see if that is true Probably not, now I see how old it is.......... However I found this post from a guy refurbishing a 2245 There seem to be some pretty knowledgeable people there who may be able to help or point you to a new, compatible, Volume Pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
