    OK here goes. I have two vintage pair I'll give away to anyone who can pick them up this afternoon or later this evening in Manhattan. There's a chance I can get them out tomorrow too.

    7b's with peerless tweeters and stands. Working well, looking pretty good overall with minimal expected wear in the corners and a little edge.

    5jr+ there are two issues with one of the 5jr+; a rear lower corner ding and a frozen driver. The other is in fine shape.

    I can pull them out and take pictures if you're serious about pick-up. I have a small window with my family away and this is my way of giving back to the forum.

    I'd like these to end up with someone who will enjoy them, not flip them.

    Just saw these in southern Jersey. I think way high and no mention of the i/c cable which I brought to his attention. Nice looking enough 2.3s but for $850 I doubt it.

    $99 for early SDA 2s. States inner tweet and mid driver on both don't work...leads me to believe they are just disconnected on the inside by a previous Polkie who know what they were doing. Local pickup in IL. No Affiliation.

    @voltz Makes me wonder if someone before him disconnected them thinking they were the dimensional drivers/tweets. What's the chances BOTH speakers have the exact same drivers/tweets that went out. He also states that he doesn't have the IC so that could be why but I believe the outer most drivers and tweets are the dimensional.

    Plus if he is not familiar with the left and right setup the one pic of them side by side he has them reversed and that would put the dimensional to the inside.
