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.

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.

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.

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.HT/2Channel: Emotiva MMC-1, Adcom GFA-555II, Polk SDA 3.1's, Teac TN-300 TT, Polk Center and Sub.

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.
