New pics at post 24 below
*****SOLD***** - SDA SRS, walnut caps and trim, upgrades, original IC cable.

Yes, these are the same SDA's I sold here approximately 18 months ago. The buyer paid for them immediately but has been unable, due to personal reasons, to make the trip from Oklahoma to get them. Reluctantly, he has asked me to offer them for resale. They can be viewed and auditioned in my home upon request, but you'll be sending payment directly to the previous buyer if you purchase these (see below.)

Serious inquiries and buyers only please. Thanks!

Condition: 7/10 due primarily to age. They're living room presentable, but have original grill cloth and a few blems on the top caps. Badges intact.

Upgrades: Silk dome tweeters throughout (8). Crossover upgraded with Solen PB caps, Mills resistors, Vampire binding posts, Cardas best silver solder throughout.

Location and Pick-up Info: Ellicott City, MD. No shipping. Please don't ask. Bring a strong friend (or two) if you purchase these. I simply can't help carry them.

Payment: PayPal only please. No buyer fees. Payment will be sent to previous buyer's account. When he's happy, the speakers are yours.

    Excellent price, and already upgraded. I personally like the SRS when upgraded over the 1.2TL's. Good luck with the sale.
    Ben
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    That's about as good as a pair of SDA's gets folks. Mike is quite handsome in person to boot.

    If that's the case, raise the price.

    If you need help and are within close distance they will fit in my van. Phasearray where is you location? Heck for this deal rent a U-haul van for $19.95 for the day. You won't find any better looking speakers and a great seller to boot. Grab them.

    I have to go to Newark, DE in the not too distant future. I could drop them off there (friend's house) and maybe you could rent a U-haul to pick them up. Something to think about anyway.

    He sold the rights to the Bang Bus but he still reaps the bennies.

    South Jersey is anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes (Magnolia NJ) from my home. If F1nut can get them to my house then you (and some stout friends) can pick them up here.

    Where in South Jersey are you?

    I knew I should have advertised them as being on the west coast, then waited for the local "man, why don't these ever come up for sale on the east coast" crowd to roll up on them. :D

    I walked these out of the storage closet this morning, hooked them up to my excerise room rig, spun a CD, and felt my jaw drop to the floor. They're that good--even without optimal placement.

    I'm really more than a bit surprised these are still here. So, I quit being so lazy and snapped some current pictures. I won't keep bumping the tread. Here's how they look (old Kodak digital has milky lens artifacts, sorry) and you can audition them at my house.

    (Side note: My wife, Sandy, came down this morning and asked if I could play "Let Your Light Shine" from Keb Mo's "Keep It Simple" on this rig. Those of you who have SDAs know why. I said "sure" and fired it up. That was an hour ago. She listened to the whole album. She's still sitting in there, in the kids' video gaming chair, with her eyes closed, now listening to Al Di Meola's "Kiss My Axe". Priceless.)

    Finally a pair on the east coast!

    BlueMDPicker, Would you have any objections if I sent a crating and shipping service to your place? Assuming I can get one at reasonable rate?

    Sorry I can't PM you about this (posts are still less then 10)
