Hello
I embarrassingly ended up with one 7b #48430 and, by golly, I'd like another for some stereophonic sound! Help!

    Was going to attempt a crossover anyway. I think the corrosion on the tweeter face is deserving of a discount...

    Well you certainly are in luck! White deposits on tweeter are aluminum oxide. Maybe it was in a salt air environment. You could use the chips in the cabinet as a negotiating point as well. Good luck.

    Awesome! I don't know where you live but shipping to WA would be $80, so everywhere closer is less. NJ $50, VA $50. I don't know how the prequoted fixed shipping on eBay works, and whether the seller can adjust depending on actual shipping costs.

    Well I don't know. Looks like you paid $16 plus $64 shipping. I hope he double boxes it and the magnet doesn't shift. https://www.fedex.com/en-us/online/rating.html
