Finally won an Optima MK3 at right money. Wanted one for a while.

Hope I won't be disappointed.

I have only heard one Optima on air and it sounded terrible on FM. Way too much deviation.

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

Maybe that's why it's been "fixed" ?

They are fixed because normally they are too quiet. It had been fixed too much by the sound of it.

Sounds like the mod may go from one extreme to the other. I think the mod made them do +/- 3.5Khz, which might be enough to make them sound horrible on some radios.

When new they were +/- 1.5khz

Same seller as the last ones. Didn't pay that for 2 of mine including the postage the other week.

Well we've all got ours, and at considerably less than the new price. However it could still be argued that it's still a reasonable price for a very good quality piece of NOS kit.

The seller listed ten previously, so seemingly another five have turned up...

The price the guys paid last time was realistic IMO but is it now worth about £55 .I suppose he sold the last 10 quickly and thought , I'll ask more now , as said good luck to him if he can find people these days that will pay his asking price , not me I'm afraid .

I just wish I could find a heap of NOS lol .

They'll sell. Maybe not as quickly, but they will. RTI's prices will no doubt assist them! :lol:

Oh well guys , I made an offer based on his last price and here's the reply , I think as astradyne has said above , RT prices will help him in the end .


DECLINED EUR 35.00
Hi no problem I sold the last batch at a different price. I ve listed new ad with other ones at this price I was selling them too low
