    Model 15's in Ontario

    Fair price--look to be in good shape but tops need refinishing--an hour or so from the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area....

    And some Model 14's in Phoenix-- price is a little steep (especially since seller states woofers need re-foaming) but hopefully negotiable. He calls them Voice of the Theaters!:doh:

    Wrong woofers in the 15s, but the 802-8Gs would bring more than the asking price on that site, if they are still in there.

    I don't own Model 15's myself, I own two pair of Model 19's and a pair of Model 14's which use a different woofer than the 15's. Based on photos I've seen of the 15's, I thought these did look like the correct woofers for the 15's but I certainly don't know enough about the 15's to bet my life on it! BOWTIE, I think you own a pair of Model 15's. Do these look like the right woofers to you?

    To these old eyes they appear to be some type of poly cone with butyl surrounds. The originals are RCA paper cones with foam surrounds.

    I think it's the lighting/camera/angle combined with sun fading, in immaculate condition those woofers tend to "shine" in an image............ at least they do on my 15's, but mine shine with that blue hue they should have.
