cash converters Find

Hi All
Well while in the city yesterday getting my dog to reregister with the vet I had a look in the cash converters shop with the thought of picking up a digital camera t replace my old broking one but didn’t see anything decent so checked out the Hi-Fi section there was only cheap speakers and cheapo sony and other amps on the shelf but sitting on the floor was a mint Audiolab 8000S with no price on it
I grabbed the assistant and asked the price he went away to ask the shop manager coming back he said its £179.99 but he said we can take an offer so offered £150 he went away again on his return he said we can let you have it for £160 and a 12 months warranty I agreed and bagged a bargain they clearly did not know what they had there as the assistant asked me when I was paying him who we’re Audiolab

Looking on eBay the 8000S seems to go for around £250 for a beat-up one to £450 for a half-decent one I believe the 8000s is the step up from the famous late 1980s 8000A
Have only had it running with headphones as the hifi is not setup again yet due to repair work and redecorating the house a nightmare but in the end, I will have much better listening room dimensions of 15.6 ft x 10.6 ft x7.8ft
images are from the net as I still don't have a camera went n the shop to look for
