Do I smell another set of 288's in OG's future?....:p
I had a business trip reschedule on me for the end of the month, which may make it possible for me to go pick these things up myself and of course provide lots o' pix.
That would drop the price back down to $60 plus time and gas....:Beer mug:
Hey congrates! That's great. What a wonderful win. =)
Just got into Kingman, AZ tonight and saw you'd won them. Cool!
(Picked up my 8 cell horns in LA today).
Keep us up to date on what you've got.
Got a call from my transporter. Everything's in his truck, and he's heading back to Raleigh. Only damage he could see was something minor on one of the driver hookups. Came with all the gear to fly them too. Needless to say, I'm excited!...:Cross Fingers:
Got the speakers in Friday afternoon, and had to leave for a scout trip posthaste...
However, While evicting the lawn mower and stuffing everything in it's place, I did manage to grab a few pix. Note the 511/908 for comparison...

The only damage I could find is minor, although I haven't yet tried to fire up all the components. There is a little corner damage to one of the VIT's, but that's it. All the hanging/flying hardware came included, and it looks like all they did was cut the wires holding everything up.
Anyone ID the woofer? 515 - G of some type?
Any suggestions for stripping the white paint off these drivers and 816's?
Very nice! I wasn't expecting the white horn, inside, Though. My 816VI that's part of my 9864A is painted with a black texture paint on the inside of the horn.Quote:

What are your cabinets made of? The spec sheet may say plywood, but mine is actually an OSB like material.
As far as stripping paint off the VIT's I'd check out the various strippers used for boats and Corvettes.......both made of fiberglass. Actually, many strippers likely address fiberglass. I have one called SoyGel that is nice to use. It's "safe" on fiberglass although it says not to let it sit for prolonged periods. If it's just latex, I doubt you'd need to let it sit for too long anyway. I've never used it on fiberglass myself. The nice thing is that it's a soy based product and isn't as harmful as one of the old fashioned strippers, but it actually seems to work unlike some of the other "safer" strippers.
Where ya gonna mount those VI horns AA, on the roof? Towers in the yard? :confused:
No silly, his night stand, next to his bed :DQuote:

That would be so awesome! If I ever build a house I want have enough height in the basement to have at least an 8 foot ceiling and still have adequate room above to access the utilities.Quote:
