    Is this a rare item? I've never seen one before.

    No, at least not around here. Craigslist is littered with them, and so is eBay.

    Also ran across this item, anyone have any insight?

    Heard of these before, I think you could use them with Monitor speakers. Sub you would wire in series (? maybe it was parallel, I'm not sure...) with your speakers.

    Curb alert, although I doubt that these are still available. https://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/ele/d/curb-alert-free-vintage/6699482779.htmlijp7jupzn78d.jpg

    Wow... I hope they didn't get trashed, that's literally a steal.

    I guess that explains the 30 dollar price tag. So much for trying to make a quick flip.

    160 dollars seems doable.

    I would proceed with caution on those SDA-1Cs in Seattle.
    After close examination of the serial numbers, it would appear that the Right Channel falls within the “interim” serial number range, while the Left Channel does not. This may create an issue if trying to use the AI-1 and a non-common ground amp, as the Right Channel will require some internal modifications.

    Want to work towards monoblocks. My SRS are blade/blade and not made for that but are great and modded to the hilt. My SRS 2's could fund part of a set of 1.2's and they are modded up too and sound great too but same blade/blade.

    Enabler! :smile: I did call the guy and asked for more pics to get an idea of what generation these babies are.

    Tony you and I are aligned - I offered him $1000 pending my inspection and he accepted. Tentatively I'll be heading out there on Sunday. They are on hold for me until then.

    Serial numbers are 3418, 3930 but I have found after searching a bit that the numbers are useless cause there is no database (public at least) that will tell which generation they are. I may pull a MW off while I'm there just to confirm, but if they are truly are minty I'll get em!

    He is the original owner, has not played them in quite some time, but cosmetically they are in excellent condition. We'll see!

    Now I just have to break the news to the Mrs that we're taking a road trip! :smile:

    Update - Working from home, ahem, the car tomorrow (easy for me as I do a lot of conference calls, video conferencing), so I'm doing a road trip! The Mrs gave me the ok, however I did not fully disclose the size of these speakers. "Just gonna pick up a pair of vintage speakers". One step at a time! :smile:

    If you want the towers, I could go for another 350LS, not paying 150 for just the CC though, that would be crazy talk.

    The seller mentioned that he repainted them. He obviously didn't do a very good job. Too bad, nice speakers otherwise.
