    It just says SDA 2 on the back. There is what looks like a sticker with a capital "B" to the upper right.

    Here is the deal on these SDAs:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/200718394972?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

    I only live five miles from this place so there would be no shipping.

    I'd say for 250 or under you'd be doin good. You could luck out big time if people don't want to pay the shipping and you're the only local bidder...

    I thought they were 2A's because of the cabinets and the diagram on the back that looks like it shows the interconnect as being blade/blade, but then again the actual slot looks like it could be pin/blade, but it's hard to tell. I guess they could be early 2B's. Either way it doesn't really affect the value.

    they look like 2b studios to me. Ask the seller to pull the drivers and see which number they are 2A are both 6510
    2B i believe are 1-6503 and 1-6511

    My pin/blade 2Bs also have the B sticker in the corner of the label. I paid $167 and a 2hr. round trip to get em. (ebay) Godawful oak grained vinyl covering but great sound ! :wink:

    I didn't win the bid. A local bidder must have wanted them more than me. Bummer! I want to get into the SDA relm. Have owned RTAs for years and love the sound. It will happen soon.
