    You have to contact the seller to find out.

    Or if the bidding goes high enough, it will show reserve has been met. The bidding can continue on though if a bidding war happens.

    I'm not surprised that he didn't get much interest. He's got ZERO feedback and his first auction is for 30-year-old, very large speakers with local pickup only. Just put a BIN price on there and let it ride.

    Now this is a smokin deal.

    RD-0?s already in place.

    1250.00
    Santa-Monica Ca.

    These look great! Tape or light suction can fix those dust caps.

    His ad says SRS and there are 13 screws on the crossover plate, so without a picture of the serial number and/or terminal cup, we have to believe him.

    Hopefully, those tweeters are 194s and all of the mids are correct. He states in the ad that all of the drivers were replaced 8 years ago.

    They are SRS's the drivers say Polk on them so he probably means he replaced the tweeters

    My bad...there is one pic of a serial number. Using the magnifying tool in ebay, it looks like 5226 or 5228. So, assuming the other channel is around the same number, they should work with the Dreadnaught or AI-1. If the left channel is less than 5000, then not so much...

    The type of interconnect socket is the determining factor of what they are.

    Blade/blade = Original SDA SRS (non-compatible with Dreadnaught or AI-1).

    Pin/Blade = SDS SRS 1.2 The speakers either have the RD0-194's or they been TL'd depending if the RD0-198 tweeters are installed along with the appropriate changes to the crossover) or they are SDA SRS 1.2TL with the RD0-198's. Dreadnaught or AI-1 compatible.

    These early 5's with silver basket MW's and Peerless look pretty nice but typical NJ market prices $180

    A pair of SDA-SRS in Nashville for $1,000...but missing a mid. They look to be in good condition otherwise.

    Those are 1.2's which can be converted to 1.2tl's. The binding post nuts need to be reversed, in order to hear them in correct phase. The diagram on the back is for the original SRS (blade/blade IC socket) and these are pin/blade.

    Yeah, wondering if these are worth the price given the need for a replacement mid, crossover upgrades, etc.

    I'd buy 'em! Can someone pick 'em up for me and deliver to Colorado? I'll definitely buy you some brews from some of the local breweries...

    I could probably get his price down a bit because of the damaged woofer. Of course I'd want to check movement on the other mid-woofers, and check overall condition. Hmmm...
