One Thing restored Quad ESL 57's a fabulous Ebay deal
2 of 2 found this helpful After my 14 month old grandson decided to push over one of my Quad 57's it stopped working.
I saw on Ebay a pair of One Thing 57's "collect only" I believe as a result that they went for far less than they otherwise could have done. They were £736 so not that inexpensive (£1500 from One Thing).
I drove to the far side of East Anglia
It was worth the 300 mile return drive,they were in immaculate condition, I left them on overnight to charge the caps etc. The One Thing 57's came with "Rupert" stands which are about 10" high & £250 on their own: The speakers sound incredible, treble clear, sharp but not digital brittle "valve" clear/clean: Incisive voluminous mids: low low expansive bass 35hz (test CD) not bad for 57's, with a natural bloom, the whole system is now even more phase coherent, I have a Chesky CD test disc, which s well produced it shows there is more height & width than before included is a test that I used to use setting up multiple speaker car sound systems.
Using this test on my system. A group of musicians enter a chapel from a door on left, walk along an aisle playing Elizabethan instruments, they then walk 3 times around the microphone at which point your head is placed; you can actually hear them walk around around your head, first time I ever heard it work with stereo ie 2 speakers, I played it for my son John jnr, I was standing o/s the lounge door and I could hear the musicians process along the room eerie!
Above all the system has a synergistic feel in that the sum is greater than the individual components: I have tried all sorts of music chamber, female vocal & orchestral it even made a good attempt at the Bach toccata & fugue in D minor. I have run out of superlatives thankfully not LP's

Better than a clamp when gluing a complicated shape
I used this tubing to secure a convoluted/serpentine piece of wood that had split across the grain when dropped. The surgical tubing was wrapped/stretched around the item after gluing , It held the pieces together where a clamp or clamps could not
