Parting out RTA12B

I never thought this would happen.
I have some RTA12B. All drivers and passive radiators are mint. I recapped the crossovers with Sonicaps, Mundorf and Jantzen. Also Mills resistors. See pics below.
Let me know what you might want.
For the sake of rules. $35.00 for drivers, $35.00 for passives, $240.00 for crossovers (I have $250+ in parts alone in them), $50.00 for nice tight pair of clean hats.
$45.00 ea. Peerless tweeters (wood frame and deflector if wanted) 5514.
Everything works as it should.

I will open them up tonight and get back to ya.

$250 for both crossovers, work already done? Too bad I'm a ways away from doing mine, ( and that I just made a sizeable purchase), I actually need these.
-
Are 'hats' the toppers?
-
Yes both crossovers completely done.
Yes. Hats are the toppers. -
I will tear them down and post pics no later than tomorrow.
-
Drivers will be either mw6600 or mw6501. Which are inter-changable. I've used both in the same speakers and couldn't tell a difference at all.
Looking at Polk schematics IIRC both drivers were used with the same XO. -
Chris...I hear ya.
I guess those Infinity's are playing quite nicely now.
I would've bought a bunch of your parts BUT...I'm downsizing and I have so many large bookshelf speakers I want to put in place to listen to them proper. I just fixed my ADS/Braun L800's and haven't heard a single song on them in months. I've had the ADS's for years...
If my RTA12b's sound great with original parts, I'm sure your upgrades make them sound outstanding.
Clean hats too...
Great prices Chris.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Hey Tony.... yep. The infinity RSII are almost done. The wife is hot on my **** to get rid of some speakers. I know I'm going to regret doing this.
So I took the drivers out of one of them today. The stickers are gone. I did find one in the bottom of the cab. Its says its a 6600x. -
I will check the other cabinet tomorrow but I couldnhave sworn i had 2 6501 and 2 6600x.
-
I also have a seperate 6502 for sale. $25.00.

@Harv2002 just did the same mod I did. I think he likes them.
Here is a link to his thread.

Glue stick glue them back on. I've had to do it for several.
-
I know I have another sticker or two that fell off. Trying to find them now. Don't want to miss represent what I have here.

Hey everyone that had questions. I'm so sorry, I just got hit with a ton of stuff this weekend. When it rains it pours. Been very difficult and it all started probably 30 min after I posted these for sale.
So please bare with me for another 2 days or so and I'll have everything out and photographed.
As of last night I had two mint passive radiators. As of now I have one mint and one blemished because of a rescue kitten my wife found. Its not bad but I can't call it mint anymore.
And after some thought I think all my drivers are 6600x. I did have a spare 6501. (Why I thought I had two of each....6501 and 6600x). But I Karma'd that one to @Tony M . And I'm very happy it was put to good use and enjoyed!😉

If you have a pair of 6502's I'm in.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.
-
These will be temporarily off the market guys. Sorry. Need to focus on a family issue right now. Hope you all understand.
-
Things are starting to get back to normal. I'll have all this back up soon, with better prices guys.
