  • Looks like some gold in the Houston area right now. At least two SRS pairs, one CRS pair, and this nice pair of 5A's with Peerless hooked up for listening:

    These are the later version with the pin/blade i/c and dual binding posts...good project pair of SRS 2's.

    I've got an auto bid on them. If I can buy them right, what the heck? Why not? They are only a few miles from me and I can pick up locally.

    That is the pair I was contacted about. I've bought from him before. Seems like a decent guy. Refoams and fixes speakers on the side I do believe.

    Good luck! I'd love to have a pair like this, this version doesn't show up very often.

    Would be a great Winter Project!

    The missing Badge bothers me, they are HARD to come by! But, still a fair start on a restoration project. I'd like to have them just for parts, those PR's are also scarce.

    Go for it. I'd be all over them if the price is right. But I live to far for a trip.

    Ahhh, geez. You guys just had to tempt me, didn't you?! I've always wanted to check out the 1.2tls to see how much of an upgrade it is over the original non-1.2 SDA-SRS model . I don't know if my house can hold any more speakers though. :smile:

    3.1tl's for $600. They look a little rough, but who knows maybe you can negotiate a deal. No affiliation. https://charlotte.craigslist.org/ele/5732554921.html

    The seller had them listed at $400. originally, but they had no tweeters in them at that time.

    If someone was close by, I'd offer him 4 bills, I'm sure he would accept.

  • In a sad display of audio OCDinsanity, I ended up picking these up ($850, new rdo's) last week. Will update, compare to 1.2's, and pass the lesser (or both) down to my sons. Seller was a nice guy in Columbia who had just picked up some serious BAT gear and Maggie 3.7's.

    He texted me last night. He repairs speakers on the side. From what I understand the tweeters were dismantled and cleaned and then put back together. 4 would likely get you close if not in them.

  • The AI-1 is an isolation transformer used in place of the interconnect cable when using the SDA's with non-common ground amplifiers. Search the forum for Dreadnought, which is a modern DIY superior version of the original Polk AI-1.
