    They are Larry's Rings and he did mention this here forum. The dude is from Texas, Man they are big and a lot more cash could be thrown at them. Adding 8 tweeters minimally then the other incidentals plus shipping those suckers. No wonder they have been passed from family member to C/L. Question, is this the model w/ that back brace thing ??

    I noticed all of those parts were on the dining room table. How many wives would let their man put those parts on the table?

    I have rebuilt car engines in my dining room.

    But it's OK at my house since I am unmarried. And I have a few boxes of motorcycle magazines in my guest bathroom too. No women living here. >:)

    Picked these up today. They need new grill clothes and a little elbow grease. Ok for $20, at least I think so. zf5iiwa3zeo4.jpg
    442's are cool, I like 409's as well.

    Awesome find! I'll take them for $60. Profit!! :p

    I love the peerless tweeters. I hope to find some 7's some day.

    Guys, I found some Model SDA 1B local to me. They look in really nice shape and with cable and original boxes. They are asking $475. Is that a good deal? Seems high to me.

    If original $300.00 tops, and only if in excellent condition.

    IMHO.

    Seems high. I purchased SDA-1C speakers in January of this year for $225 from CL. Have you tried Search Tempest to discover other SDA speakers within a given number of miles from your current location?

    I did not know about Tempest. Thanks for that.
    I guess I can always offer him my price and see if he takes it. I think $300 would be fair. They are 5 minutes away from me. That is why I am tempted. Thanks for your opinions.

    I think $475 asking price is high, but I think that $225 for 1Cs is a rare find and not a good representation of value. Show me a few other current 1Cs listed for this price anywhere. They are a $400-$500 speaker in decent shape. 1Bs are generally $100 drop from the Cs and 1As are another $100 down from that.
