    I was second in line to get these. First dude bought them, Fellow was nice enough to call me back and let me know 1st dude took em.

    Bummer. That was a great price on a clean pair of speaks. Another time!

    Thanks @agfrost . I still have that 202+ btw, I keep it in the shop for a backup amp. Never could get the noise out of the left channel. I hope you and the family are well. Good to see you are still hanging out.

    Agreed, which is why I’d not make a run at them even though they aren’t too far away

    No affiliation here, but these seem like a really nice deal. Would take a few bucks to fix up but nothing crazy.

    If they were SDA 2s, I'd say they were mine and someone nicked them, but...

    Anywho, price needs to drop.

    There is a set of Original (and I believe low serial number, but didn’t have time to investigate further) SDA 1’s at “Father and Sons” antiques in Raleigh, North Carolina for $400. Looked to be in excellent shape with the exception of the base on the right speaker, which was a bit knackered.

    Only one way to find out.
    I wonder if that speakon connection is air tight?

    Remove one of the tweeters and if the negative, white wire quick connect is larger than the positive quick connect, the tweeters are RD-0198's and they are TL's. Same size means the tweeters are RD-0194's and they're 1.2's.

    Some are not air tight John. They are not made that way. If you bought those we recommend they are unless you have a loose screw
