edited June 2013 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Unfortunately I have recently had a major financial setback. I never thought I would have to do this but I may need to sell my beloved Polk SDA 1C's. I originally bought them for $500, a bit high but this pair was in very nice condition and had sat in a closet in original boxes for over 10 years. In additon the seller and original owner of these SDA 1C's was none other than Sandy Gross.

Since then I have replaced the SL2000 tweets with RDO 194's. I have added spikes, larrys rings and had Trey redo my crossovers (Clarity ESA, PX and Mundorf resistors), and Trey also upgraded my SDA cable and connection.

I am hoping to get $750.
Local pickup. Not sure about shipping.

Here is a picture of me with Sandy Gross and the speakers. Sandy also autographed the back of the speakers.

I also have a picture of just Sandy and the speakers I can give you. I have the original boxes.

    I thought sure you would come on 80 more miles to Morristown.

    Kiddin' We should be able to work this out for sure. I grew up (mostly) in Morristown, went to Bristol, thunder valley a lot when I was younger. Lots of fun and great memories there.

    I will PM you and Rick later, this is great. I really would like to meet Rick in person though.

    You could take him to the races too!!
