    I wish George, crazy busy at work. Get a chance to come here about every 2 or 3 days of late.

    Did spin some vinyl today :-)

    Hope all is well in GA.

    Hope this works out for thsmith and ESavinon. If it doesn't or anyone else has some stands, please advise via PM or posting.

    I'm near Dale City so I've contacted that CL seller but those (while the pricing is acceptable) aren't actual Polk stands...so I'm still in the market even if I get the CL simulacra to tide me over.

    Did someone else already grab the SDA-CRS that the same seller implied he had on CL?

    I was considering the Dale City ones. I decided not since it is a little bit of a drive. (I am in Arlington.) I recently picked up CRS+ without stands (or an interconnect).

    I never saw the SDA-CRS listed on CL, and I saw the speaker stand ad pretty much right after it went up. Someone in Reston is selling CRS+ with stands and interconnect on Ebay right now. I am tempted but definitely don't need another pair.

    I'm not that near Dale City (seriously, from Arlington mid-day it's what, 30 minutes? I'm up in MD...), but I was pursuing the non-Polk stands anyway.

    The CRS pair in Dale City sounds like more of a project than I need (one loose magnet, grille posts broken, nicks/scrapes in the vinyl, guy still wants $150 as-is), and I haven't yet got confirmation as to whether they're CRS or CRS+. The same guy says he can fab an SDA interconnect cable if you need one.

    Still hoping/in the market for actual CRS stands...

    You are right it is not that far, but I still have have PTSD from traveling down there occasionally when the mixing bowl construction was in full swing.

    I am guessing that since you were not able to figure out the model, you probably don't know what type of interconnect (I need pin/blade). I will have to send him an email. The $150 is outrageous, and I thought that I overpaid for $200 for a pair in very good shape without the cable or stands.

    I contacted the guy in Reston, but gave up since he was kind of a pain to deal with. (It may have just been a misunderstanding but I figured why risk it). I think that he was expecting close to $300 anyway (the bidding never passed his reserve price so I am not sure).

    The CRS pair in Dale City is original dual-tweeter CRS, with blade-blade IC. I'd only have been interested if they were CRS+ and/or better quality. My pair are CRS+ with blade-blade, so at least I could have used one of his cables if I weren't going to fab my own.

    There's a thread about fabbing a pin-blade IC that has some good info mixed in with some threadcrapping -- it might at least be worth a review but YMMV.
    https://polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70619
    Looks like there might be a simple fix by just running a cable between the pins temporarily (just the tip, just to see how it feels...)

    Good luck...while I try to figure if I've got money for *any* of the three or four wanna-buys upon which I must quickly decide (a PSW505 and a LSiC just popped up in local CL for reasonable $$)...

    Thanks. For now I just did the speaker wire jammed in both pin holes. Seems to work fine but does not seem very permanent. If I don't see a cable for sale soon, I may try to fabricate a more permanent solution.

    Thanks. I will look into that. The only problem with using speaker wire is that I will have to buy another CRS+ pair for the other half of the wire.
