in Vintage Speakers
Looking at buying a used pair of Sda Srs 2 speakers ( $600 ). Looking at pictures I noticed that on one speaker, on the four woofers - 2 of them are missing 1 (of four) screws, and 1 is missing 2 (of four) screws. No idea the condition of the other speaker.

Is this concerning?

They have the newer tweeters, so I assumed they have been updated but…

(I have zero experience with vintage speakers).

    Potentially yes. Worst case, the holes are stripped out. Not all is lost though. You can and actually should install hurricane nuts in order to use socket head cap screws to secure the drivers as well as the passive radiator.

    As stated ^^^^ Potentially yes.. & Definitely a good reason to look at the MW woofer & make sure it's the correct one. I've seen many cases someone replaced just any MW that fits/works into it.. Know what speaker you have correctly & have correct woofer.. A simple screwdriver & look could save you a headache
