Was cruising around on local ads a couple of days ago when I spotted was I deemed a "too good to be true" type of deal. I emailed the person, no reply, emailed, no reply. Sent a total of 8 emails without reply over the 2 days. I figured it was indeed to good to be true. Today I receive a phone call and to my surprise it was the person selling the item. He said he was extremely busy and was sorry not to get back and that he still had them and I was welcomed to them. My heart started racing. I arranged a time to meet him and test them out. Everything checked out great. I am now the proud owner of
Granted they are not in prestine condition(probably a strong 6.5/10) . 2 dustcaps are pushed in and somebody sprayed cleaner on the grills that I need to figure how to get off. The drivers are all in great shape and sound fantastic, the grills except for the cleaner are also in good shape. I am missing one of the foot pegs(anyone know where to get one?). Top and bottom wood pieces are a little loose(how do I fix?). It even came with the interconnect cable. It would make people sick knowing how much I paid for them and why I was so excited. To find out go here.

Dust caps are easy to fix man...
Tape, needles
(tape looks better overall, needles leave small holes - but entirely effective)
As for grill cloth, just buy new cloth and recover them- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
