Some guy's got a pair of RTA12A's that he's trying to pass off as 12C's. I've let him know that he's got 12A's, but so far, he hasn't made the change. He's asking huge bucks and claims they're in great shape when they're not. Here's the link. Caveat emptor!

    Good catch. The only differences are the cover guide pins, driver surrounds, tweeters, cabinets and the serial stickers. :rolleyes:

    cabs look to be in good shape. almost look like they are not veneer, but could just be the pic.

    price is a little inflated, especially the bin price.

    I saw these on there too. People need to do some market research
    before setting these crazy prices!

    This guy is bonkers. I just watched a pretty nice pair of true RTA12C's sell for a MEASLY $49.99 (arg!) on ebay and this guy thinks he'll get $275 for his 12A's?

    Oh well, good luck!
