$1800, local pickup or hand delivered with in reasonable distance. Will not ship.

I've spent the last couple of years rebuilding these. It's time to let 'em go but they are ready. They are completely rebuilt. Local pickup in the Northern IL area and I'll help drive 'em part way if I can find a vehicle to put 'em in. I have the original boxes and will be included in the sale.

Woofers: Original and refoamed by Bill at Millersound. They also have sound damping on the frames. Each speaker has 3 10" woofers.

Ribbons: Originals rebuilt by a gentleman on the East cost. There is another group that will rebuild these in Milwaukee, WI now. Each ribbon is 4' long, one each per speaker.

Frames: Untouched - original.

Wiring: Mostly Mogami W2534. Short runs are either cotton wrapped copper or wire removed from Cardas Star-Quad 4S11. All runs are tied down so the ends do not move. Speakon connector allows the crossover to be detached for shipping or moving them.

Input cups were replaced with Cardas CCBP.

Original controls for Low, High and Mids.

All capacitors replaced with either Solen or Sonicap Gen I with values as close as possible to original. All but two inductors are original. The two big guys were replaced with Erse 16g Super Q's at original values.

The black box that originally covered the woofers is no more. There is no cost to the sound due to this "modification".

Hieroglyphics written on the back of the speaker are provided at no additional cost.

  • ALL212 where did you purchase all of your crossover components? I have two TFM25 amps run I g in mono and have baked epoxy or coating off of one of the large resistors on one of the crossovers. So I would like to rebuild the crossover overall but need a parts source. I’m thinking you can help and save me a lot of time?

    I've got favorites.

    soniccraft.com - their caps are very nice and a good assortment of other fun stuff.
    madisound.com - local to me so I get quick shipping
    parts-express.com - decent generic stuff
    partsconnexion.com - are these the Canadians?

    Anyone else following this thread? Put your favorite suppliers in here.

    This didn't fall far from the tree. I "sold" it to my son who lives in town. And he's under orders that if he no longer wants them I get first shot at getting them back.
