https://omaha.craigslist.org/ele/d/garrard-mrm-101/6303562976.html No affil. $90.00. I vaguely remember this Garrard unit. Designed to remove noise from scratched records. CL ad selling the Garrard. The dbx/3bx piece is being sold separately for $140.00.

Forgive me for the post but I have to ask. In thumbing through this thread I've seen favorable talk about some NAD and Rotel pieces. In particular a Rotel RB-1080 amp for $700 which looked familiar but seemed too high priced. I keep a Rotel amp around for a backup amp and RB-1080 looked very familiar so I had to find it and check. Close, but it's an RB-1070 instead. Does it actually have some value too? I've had it for many moons and don't remember what I paid for it but might have to put it on the market to turn into cash to help pay medical bills that have piled up this past year. Thanks!

That's not a steal, but it's not absolutely terrible. Plats are the top of the line Amazings, in mint condition, they can bring $1500. Around $1000 would be more appropriate.

Parts are unobtainable priced too high imho

Just met a guy that can rebuild the ribbons thats in Michigan. NO IDEA as to cost, but he said that he can do it.

There's another in NC that can do it as well and @trav0810 has a set of Amazings that he rebuilt with the new material (which Bob Carver saw, heard, and signed off on).

The ribbon material the guy in MI uses is 2x more expensive than before, so its still not CHEAP, but that means they can live on if you spend the cash.

The woofers are still out there too.

Nice to know Dan. My opinion is they are still a little pricey. I seen a thread some years back where they used Infinity woofers. That was a different set of amazings but sometimes stuff transfers. They need lots of room to breath for sure. Stuff like this can get expensive quick.

That's for the AL III's that is the single woofer. This particular pair uses 4 woofers in each speaker, but they don't use the "infinity mod".

Yes, they certainly need a lot of room to breathe, and this particular model needs a lot of power as well.

The rb1070 goes for around 300 bucks so I wouldn't make any retirement plans just yet. Medical bills, no. First aid, yes.

That's about 3 times what I paid for it so it's going on my To-B-Sold list. Most of the list are going to be at a loss items so anything I can make a little money on is going to be welcomed. My wife has been paying a little here and there but hardly making a dent. Some of these fools are demanding crazy charges like $32k for a 12 mile chopper ride from one hospital to another because the first hospital's cardiac team was busy. Sat at the second hospital for over an hour before a doctor came in. There was no need for the chopper to save a few minutes and they didn't give us a choice. The chopper was already there dumping someone off so they just threw me in and sent me on the way. Insurance paid them $12k so the $20k balance is on my head. That's just one of 20 similar bills we have to do something about in my forced retirement.

Those aren't platinums... those are the silvers. They have three drivers and not four if you look closely at the picture. They are way overpriced.

Then they are certainly overpriced. The listing said Platinums, I didn't even look at them in size comparison to the TV stand. Yes, Silvers shouldn't be anywhere near $1500.

Wow! Sounds like you're in deep. Sorry to hear that. Hope you got your health in check, that's priority number 1.

Yup. It piled on fast. 6 months later two parts they installed failed and another round of bills added on. No warranty. When it happens again I'm not saying anything to anyone. Then she can collect insurance money instead of adding to the debt.

BTW....AFLAC is great so long as you aren't self employed. Don't piss off the premiums if you are.

RE: Platinums/Silvers needing power. Don't they require an amp with real guts that can operate down around 2 ohms comfortably ?

For $39, jump on the antique train and go get them.
Should be able to flip for $-29 profit.

I can't tell from the picture, do they include spikes? I bet if you plug the ends you can load them with sand or lead shot.

3rd photo in the ad shows plugs and spikes.

Well look at the speaker series they reference on the box. Those things are OLD .

I concur I dont remember them either, but I got into the Polk game starting with the Monitor 60/T90e line which is pretty new compared to the other lines.....

I looked at that but it's confusing. The photo shows two towers but the ad says a single tower.

I checked with him and it is actually for both towers as shown in the photo. Does that seem like an upgrade for HT against the RT1000's and CS400 I am using now?

I wouldn't do it, but it is a heckuva package.

Where is "she" when you need her to say something?

If it's still available, I might pick it up this weekend and try it out. I can always flip it if I don't like it better. Or try it out in the bedroom in place of the M5jr's.
