in Speakers
I bought a pair of these today at the same Salvation Army I bought my pair of Monitor 12's a few years back (I love that store).

Problem = the guy bringing them in dropped one on the right front spike and it snapped the receptacle off and popped the nameplate.

He threw away the spikes and the broken piece right before I got there.

I looked around for parts, but I haven't had any luck. Anyone know of a source for that bracket and the Polk spikes?

He also snapped the 4 of the grill pegs off flush with the cabinet as he saved the speaker from falling over. Not sure what I'll do about those yet...

Thanks for any help! I appreciate it!

    Steve, if you find out from Polk about how much the foot brace are I need two for the back side of each of my rti10's speakers. If there is a discount on quanity I can buy three and sell you one.
    In the meantime you can buy 4 metal feet that comes with the correct screw size in a bag at Menards if you have one by you to level out the speaker. Cost like $3 for a bag of four. Let me know if you talk to Polk

    Ohhhh... So feet to screw in to the holes left when you take the braces off?

    That's a good idea in the meantime =)

    Thanks!

    Those are called outriggers. You'll have to CALL Polk to see if they still have any.

    Yeah, my back foot braces were missing when I purchased a pair ($50) so I purchased these metal feet with screws at menards .Screwed them in and leveled the speaker until I can find a set. That is why in the WTB forum I am looking for one speaker. I need the midrange, one silver end cap for the grill and those braces or outriggers as F1nut mentioned.
