MW6509: Need 3, will buy 4

I just powered the SRS 2's up and am ASTOUNDED at how well they sound, even with 2 drivers contributing 0% to the mix.
I verified that all eight 6-1/2" MW drivers are the original MW6509, built Dec 05, 1986 and put into service on January 03, 1987. I need 3 and will buy 4 for a spare.
Does anyone in the group have some decent MW6509's for sale? I will also check the buy/sell posts.
I can get brand new direct from Polk for $48 + S&H, but hope to safe some dollars for the silk tweeter update and figure good used is a good idea.

I got antsy and purchased the MW6509 drivers for the SRS 2's directly from Polk today. I also dug deeper into my pockets and went ahead and bought 6 RDO194 (SL2000 replacement) tweeters, 4 for the SRS 2's and 2 for my SDA-2B's.
I can't wait to hear the difference and will be selling the SL2000's for a reasonable price very soon.VTL ST50 w/mods / RCA6L6GC / TlfnknECC801S
