I don't think anybody is going to let any of the speakers that have the wiggly waves on them be vintage too soon.

Seems to be some consensus that "vintage" means 25 years or older. Which would make anything before 2000 classified as vintage. "Antique" means 100 years or older (except maybe for cars, which might be "antique" at 25 years. So my Pioneer SX-1250 and my Polk SDA 2B Studios are vintage, but I usually think of them as "classic." I personally like to refer to myself as "midcentury modern."The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.—Martin Luther King Jr.

Anyone in the midwest, plains, central U.S. looking? These appear to be stock.
Asking price seems slightly higher than average in my opinion.

I may have these in my garage if anyone is interested.

According to SDA Handbook based on the cabinet design (fig 3.8) and the pin/blade connector they would be 1987 or 1989 version SDA2B's depending on having polyswitches in the crossover.
