BTW: Which cabinet has the original 604 ?

The 604 is in the more art-deco-ish cabinet (first picture on the left, jpg 155).

I only showed the crossover from the 604B because I hit the limit of 5 images. The 604 has a different crossover (black box with white lettering N-2000-A if I am not mistaken.

Terry can you link into them from photobucket,Flickr,etc... That's how you can get around the attachment limit.

Just copy the direct link on photobucket click the insert image link at the top of reply paste the link into the little box that appears.

The cabinets are intact but are have scratches and scruffs. The grills are original. The drivers are pristine and sound great. Both were used in a audio research lab so neither was driven hard.

How do I sell these things? They are incredibly heavy and I have no idea how to ship them.

Thanks for an info you can offer.

I think Terry has left the building, he hasn't answered PM's or posts since Steve answered his post.

He sold those beauties and took off for Fiji, I reckon.

Hi,

I'm still here, and I still have the speakers. I've been busy with work, and had to deal with a minor medical issue that laid me up for a week, so I haven't had the chance to get good pictures to post to the forum. I hope to do this sometime this month.

I didn't realize that I had PM's to answer. I'll take care of this tonight.

I got the speakers at a private silent auction at my wife's place of employment. No one else bid on them! It's kind of a long story, but my wife worked at a private research lab that was sold to a local university. At the time of the sale, the research institute cleared out a lot of "junk", including the speakers.

I'll try to post pictures soon, but I will be out of town for the next two weeks.

Thanks for the Heads Up Terry ! I can't believe that they were considered junk.I'm afraid a lot of the Vintage stuff that is irreplaceable ends up this way, unfortunately.
