Found a pair of these in walnut at the flea market today, only issue is that I have notta cash to pick them up. He had 150 and said he would come to 140, only other issue is there is not a cable with them either. Is this a good price for these? If so I am going to try to scrap enough together to pick them on fri if he still has them.

    Man, bust open the piggy bank if you have to...

    Fantastic deal if all is in working order.

    If he still has them fri. they are coming to live with me.....I found the piggy bank (dad). If he does I am going to need links to threads about how to make myself a cable for them. It's going to be sooo cool to get my sda on again.:D

    Cheers,

    Ooooooh Yeah baby, they are here and I stole them for 120. I need to make a cable for them but for the moment I have a decent speaker cable making the run until I can get one made up for them.

    When I got here I had left them in the van until I could make room for them, the heat in the van has lifted one of the side panels so it will have to be reglued. The flea market is inside and the lighting is poor, upon getting them to the van I noticed that the bottom caps have both been wet and will need to be redone at some point as there is some swelling and the veneer has started to lift and come loose.

    Past that the main enclosure is very intact, also the grill fabric is near perfect and will not need to be replaced. I think that it must have been rare to not at all that the grills were removed as the drivers are just about dust free and almost look new. Wonder where I could get some walnut veneer from?

    I must tell you that I had forgot just how much I enjoyed that sda sound, the low end from these rivals the bigger eosones that I have and they just sound fantastic and are simply wowing me all over again! Three cheers for sda...there is none like it.

    Pics will follow later when I have time to take them.


    Cheers,
    Mike
