Hi,

Got a fairly eclectic collection of gear to offload. Open to offers. :)

1)

Philips Pronto TSU9400 +
Philips Pronto RFX9400  -this will give you a touchscreen remote with full RF capability. Programming these is complicated, but worthwhile. There's a huge amount you can do with these.

http://www.pronto.philips.com/Products/Control_Panels/TSU9400/ 

In decent working order. Bought January 2008

2) 

Home Theater Master URC-MX850 +
Home Theater Master MRF 250

http://www.universalremote.com/products/residential/remotes/mx-850

This is better if you like physical buttons. Slightly less capable in terms of the software, but macros etc.. work flawlessly.

3)

DIY Sous vide gear - this is for temperature-controlled cooking, see http://douglasbaldwin.com/sous-vide.html for details.
Consists of:
Go Systems Blowtorch + spare gas cylinder
Sous Vide At Home Controller
http://www.sousvideathome.com.au/
HOTOR (?) Rice Cooker. 15L. Yes, 15 litres.

4)

Yamaha RX-V1400. This is quite a few years old. Does component video switching, and has really, really nice sound. No HDMI ports, so I'm not sure how much interest there'll be here, but it's a proper mid-range stereo.

Any questions, sing out.

Have you moved on to something else for your sous vide needs?

Not yet. Aiming to get the Sous Vide Professional, which runs at about $1400 once you get it here. :)

Have you seen this? It's Simon Gault's website.

Obviously, it might impact your sale, but what are the drawbacks of the system you're selling as opposed to the above?

Yep - that's where I'm planning on ordering from. Sadly, that price isn't GST inclusive. It also seems to want minimum quantities of 111, which I'm presuming is a typo.

Are you sure? When you add 111 to the cart, it comes up as $141,524.28 = $1,274.99 x 111.

Also, did you see my query regarding the shortcomings of the cheaper unit? Sous vide is something I'm interested in, but $1000+ is too much an outlay for my experimentation. On the other hand,  I don't want to be disappointed by lacklustre performance...

Whoops, sorry, missed that. Also, apparently I mixed up my numbers - you're right about the price. :)

Effectively, it's a very simple temperature sensor that turns off the power to the socket when the temperature goes over, and turns it back on when it drops, so it can fluctuate by a couple of degrees either way, depending on the situation. I'm hoping for control below about half a degree (got Modernist Cuisine for Christmas), so an upgrade is in order.

The controller itself cost $140 AUD + Shipping, and I can sell it on its own (the rice cooker's really ridiculously large, and will go quite easily on trademe). It also has a little water pump, but apparently an air pump for aquarium's is a better bet.
