    Yeah, it would be nice to be able to flip them for a small gain if they don't work well in my space. Not to mention the two and a half hour round trip and lunch I'll be buying my buddy who's truck we'll be using to pick them up.

    You know, now that I look at these closer, they seem a little different than the ones I've been working on. (sda-2b-resto) Are they 2B Studios? The little trim pieces above and below the grilles looks like they've been added on. They don't have endcaps. No skirts down on the bottoms, no endcaps, black vinyl veneer? They are pin-blade where mine are blade-blade. Just curious, I've not ever seen the Studio versions up for sale in these parts...

    Good eye, these do look like they have been modded a bit to resemble the later 2B's. Pretty sure there was an earlier version (Studio Version) that didn't have the separate top and bottom caps. The later 1C's and 2B's were an original Studio cabinet with the cloth covered side panels and the top and bottom caps that were just added on.

    Good idea, but I haven't heard back from the seller yet. I'm going to let this one stew for a bit.

    Those look just like mine (and in better shape than mine); I haven't seen that cabinet style too frequently. They were early 2B studios with (in my pair) blade-blade interconnect. I did the 2BTL mods on mine (and later added a neutrik connector when I built a Dreadnaught). Can't seem to find a decent picture of them, but here's the bottom when I was installing crossovers once-upon-a. Top is same as shown in the ad. I like this cabinet style better than the standard studios, but wish my vinyl was in a bit better shape!
