Born a day apart...

So I stripped my Maggies today to check condition. I found some wires needing attention (those will be cleaned and re-attached tomorrow), but the pair is generally in good shape.

When I looked at the tags with the manufacturing info., I found that this pair was born on August 3, 1988.

I have another pair of these (SMGa's) that were born on August 2, 1988!

I'm putting together an HT with all Maggies so I was pleased to see this. I bought them almost two years apart, one pair in San Diego and the other in the San Fernando Valley.

What are the chances?

Just thought I'd share, I'm bored, Football is over for the day...

    NAP....please say you didn't say that. Magnepan. It's slacker language for the proper name.

    Coffee hadn't kicked in yet and for the life in me couldn't make the connection. I guess I'm a slacker too. :cool:

    The AT&T exec I bought my 1.5's off had an all Maggie HT.
