Looking for a ballpark value on a WE 728b...

**analog addict** · April 17th, 2011, 08:24 PM

Got one on offer for $1200.

E-bay seems to vary widely. Anyone have a good feel for what these bring?

TIA....

Only two (single unit) sales I have on file

728B WE S Mint 4000 2010-03
728B WE S Exc 3000 2010-04

Prices are US$.

With anything WE, shipping to Asia will guarantee you a better price.

AA yep it is worth atleast double that, but I would say closer to $3000 maybe more :2thumbsup: I would clean it up first.All the nuts and stuff are turning green on the back of the basket.It must have been in a damp enviroment IME.How's the cone ?

Pretty fair chance the gap's "green" too.

My buddy pulled the driver. Looks pretty good. I won't have a chance to mess with it in person until next week. You can bet I'll listen to it before it goes anywhere....

Guess $3000-$4000 is pretty standard for these.....

Cone looks good,even with the Blurry picture !

:lollipop:

On the the front gasket there is a date code can you post Alan ? The label does say WE and not Altec so it is an early model ! If you got it for $1200 consider it a STEAL !!

Addendum: As Brad noted the gap maybe green too.From the looks of the outside this driver should be checked thoroughly before driven hard.It's a nice piece of WE History.

Got to listen to and measure this driver. Thanks A-A. It's unusual! Heaviest 12" I've ever lifted, real a beast. Goes right on up to 12K and better. Very low distortion. Warm and clean sound.

Will post pix and measurements ASAP.
