I just received a long-awaited set of RT16's via UPS. You can guess the rest. Three corners are demolished on their bases. Anybody have(or know of) anyone with a damaged set they might part out? Thanks... :(

    Already had a loooooooooong conversation with Ken Swauger - right before I made this post. Polk doesn't have either piece anymore. I asked about getting plans to build my own too. No help there either. Grilles are nonexistent too. I'm hoping that by now, SOMEone has some parts for these things available. I know I may have to just make them myself someday.

    I had an extra set of RT8 bases, but not sure if A. they are still here B. they would fit your application.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Thanks Russ,

    The base on the 8 would be a bit too small. I appreciate the offer though.

    I have an extra pair of RT16 that I do not use. Cabs are in fair shape! PM me and we can get something going. Tweets on hand if you need them as well...nothing like extra parts.

    Where do you live Meech?

    Don't just part them out if they're working...........those speakers are awesome.

    ANY wood shop can make bases like that......I already PM'd him my offer to have the shop I'm making a few for me add a few to the order but never heard back from him.....
