Looking for a pair of these to add to the collection. I can cover shipping by sending FedEx or UPS labels from my account.

Condition of the cabinet does not need to be perfect. Also, if a tweeter or woofer is blown that is fine too.

Thanks!
Eric.

    Also just saw your location as foothills of NC, so we might be able to forgo shipping altogether and meet halfway depending where you are exact... send pm and I'll leave me # for you.

    Talk to you tonight (or anytime you want to call) Eric..

    Cody- I appreciate the offer, I'll have to talk w/ Eric and work out details. It looks like we are about 2 1/2 hours apart. We may meet in Asheville if he wants or I could go thru Boone NC and meet at your place if he's agreeable. Let us know what your Monday schedule looks like and I'll update after talking w/ Conradicles.

    Those are dandy ones! One fuse or two on those in post #6?
    They look just like mine besides the finish of the vinyl "veneer"...

    Mr. H-
    They have 2 fuses on the back. Yes they look like the one's I've seen you post a pic of several times. Nice speakers, I just have two pair and I don't like how the grill covers attach as compared to my other pair. This sale will either help w/ Christmas for the kids or my SonicCraft capacitor and mills resistor order ;)

    Finally got to speak w/ Conradicles this morning and we are meeting Monday afternoon in Asheville. I do hope he enjoys them and am glad they are going to a fellow polkie. Does anyone have any recommendations for a stereo store either new or vintage gear or LP's in Asheville or nearby? I'll do some google searching as well but thought there might be some locals who could chime in.

    It was nice meeting you Eric. Sorry we didn't have time to do lunch or hang out a little longer. I went to the store on Weaverville Hwy and talked w/ the owner for over an hour. Nice guy. Hope you enjoy the 7's and let me know if there's any problems when you hook them up. I've got a few 6500 mids if the trek over the mountain froze one.

    Took them apart and am ordering caps, fuses and resistors now. I noticed one of the MW6500 is a bit scratchy, a bit of voice coil rub. Other than that they seem fine and are in really nice shape considering their age.

    Eric,
    I'd be happy to send you one of my spare 6500's from my pair of 10's that I don't have time to work on yet. Send me a pm or call me and we can work out shipping. I'd want the scratchy one back just to fill a hole till I can get another, but it's yours for the asking..
