Those need billet tweeter plates and matching phase-plugs. Rear sound barrier stand-offs wouldn't hurt either.

Damn right. I don't care too much how they look. I wanna listen !

All those passives. I wonder where the speakers went ? Those will be invaluable to many in the future that need such.

The seller has several ads where the drivers and tweeters are also for sale. He probably has a mountain of empty cabinets in his backyard.
He must be a butcher of sorts.

No wonder. Looking at the price these speakers go in Craigslist, shipping parts makes way more money, usually more than double.

Blame Polk.
This all happened due to the bad glue.
Woofers shift magnet and need replacements, at prime cost.

It's happened to more than just polk drivers. Many of the others folks just throw away as they are less desirable speakers so we just do not hear it. -
Polk CRS blade/blade out in Los Angeles, no affiliation. In need of a carpenter.
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/ele/d/van-nuys-vintage-polk-audio-speaker/7265294660.html
I would probably take them anyway if I were out that way. Thanks to @xschop I have a set of X overs I could build for them and I always keep spare 6511's
Did anyone here snatch these up? -
I know I didn't. They might as well be in Egypt far as I am concerned. Phenix City AL is a long way from there. Not only that I am actually going to start letting some equipment go. Filled up all my extra storage !

Frankenpolk is alive and well in Los Angeles. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/ele/d/los-angeles-polk-audio-7b-with-peerless/7272991599.html

I'd buy them for the tweeters.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
They could have at least tried implementing a closed-back midrange.
Those look like they were prepped for a hurricane. -
Nice cabs and Peerless tweets and maybe good crossovers for half a hundy? Sounds like a no-brainer.

I love them. They would fit right in here. I weep for them. Lol. No kidding though, if I were there I would buy them and fix em right on back up. Put some "Mystery" drivers in there. -
I offered him 30 but he didn't bite...

Anybody in the intermountain west following this thread? I just finished up a pair of 3.1TL's, listed locally here in Utah. Could make some arrangements if a fellow polkaholic is in the market and within reasonable distance to meet up. I’m hoping to get $575 for them which is pretty much what I have into them. Holla if'n you’re interested.
Stuff I’ve done to them:
- They’ve been aesthetically refreshed, re-stained with India ink and topped with polyacrylic. There are some blemishes from mistreatment in the past, luckily the worst of it is on the backs. Grilles and cabinet cloth is in good condition, no snags or rips, a little schmegma on them that I haven’t tried to clean off yet, but it shows worse in the photo than it is in person.
- The magnets have all been secured with powergrab to prevent shifting.
- Noico damping material has been applied to all baskets to reduce ringing.
- The tweeters were upgraded with RD0-198’s.
- Terminal cups have all new binding posts and built new jumpers.
- Drivers and passives are all in great condition and the cabinets are sealed well.
- Included is a custom 12’ interconnect cable for the SDA circuit.
Also have listed a CS350-LS in vgc. Perfect working order. $125 obo.
Some photos in no specific order:
