    Thinking, but not sure I want to drive a couple hours to look at something that was dragged behind the truck for a few miles. And the pushed in cones would drive me batty, I'd have to replace them if I couldn't pull them out.

    I saw them when they were listed. I have been so satisfied with my SDA 2.3 since upgrading them that it would take a pretty good deal for me to change. I would be willing to help you load them Tim:biggrin: Norwood should only be about a 20 minute trip for me.

    Somebody grab these things. If I still lived in Indy, they would have been restored by now and in my living room.

    Don't be tempting me like this!

    Ugh....the temptation, the peer pressure...

    Please excuse me whilst I bang my head into the gravel in the middle of the road.

    I live about 40 miles from this guy. If I bought these my wife's overies would fall out and then her head would explode.

    That said, I could save her this awful fate if I sold my stuff first. I am not sure I want to part with my new score (see sig) in order to snag these. I have never heard them, and am a neophyte at mods and restoration.

    To boot, I only have an Elite and a 150wpc kenwood amp (on its way) to power these.

    But it sure would be nice to have these in my room!

    Just some insight:smile: I have looked at these.
    These are 1.2's, there are probably 8 dust caps pushed in, 3 tweeters are toast, (physically) one of the wood end caps is missing, the wood is rough, the cloth is in need of replacement.
    I did not get to hear them as they were not hooked up.
    If I recall correctly these were used in a high traffic, high use environment (read semi-public).
    I'm sure someone with the knowledge and skills can turn them into show pieces but in my limited knowledge in this area they are going to require quite a bit of work.

    Your welcome:smile:
    Also while I'm at it, quite a few of the posts (for the grills) are broken off and no IC cable, flunked press test.

    It's been a while since I looked at them but I don't remember there being any issues with them, ie no wrinkles.
