Hi Christopher,
I've still got the speakers, amp, tape deck and CD player. Let me know if you'd still like them - someone else is potentially interested in the amp, so can you let me know soonish so I can tell hime whether or not its still available.
My boyfriend works from home so there's generally someone around most of the time.
