Okay,so now it's time to find out if we have enough interest to buy some tweeter gaskets.
EVEN IF YOU ASKED IN A PM OR THREAD PLEASE PUT IT HERE!!!
The Seventies were a **** and my brain can't pull in all the requests from all the other threads,PM's,emails,tweets,whatever.Just too many from every direction.My head would explode!
This is for the NEWER style tweeters,SL2000,3000,RDO194 & 198's.This is the gasket with a round hole and 2 ears in the middle.Not the football shaped ID.They will also be pre-punched with the 4 screw holes.Like the MW's i will post a picture of the sample when i get it.
*These will NOT fit the old 1000's or Peerless and there are no plans to get that kind made.*
The tooling is a bit more intricate for these so prices are higher.These will be made per the sample i sent them and i will get a sample of the part before they proceed with production.
I will let this run for about a week and see where we are for quantity.

If we order 1-499 pieces our cost is $2.50 each.
If we order 500 pieces or more it drops to $1.50 each.
Plus shipping and handling split up amongst us.
Obviously,we all want to generate enough interest to get 500 or more for the hefty savings. :smile:

I may ask those that order higher quantities to prepay to help me cover the up front cost.
Please tell me how many you DEFINITELY want to buy.
Thanks

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I'll do 30.

    Order more guys so we can get the price down. I don't need anywhere close to 30, probably 2 but like to have extras for my goody box, future loudspeakers or to simply give to a Polkie who needs them after they aren't available anymore.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
