Wheels with an adjustment on the back could be just about anything except a Model 19 or other...... where the "adjustment" is on the front.

I sent an email asking for a picture/model.

Here are the pictures I was sent. I'm not sure what they are, but are along the lines of what I was thinking.

I can't find anything in pictures where the horn takes up the whole width of the cabinet. Plus, the aluminum dust cap not showing prominatley makes me nervous.

I'm thinking the horn is an 811B.......

For $150 I’d take a chance if they were in my neck of the woods. If they didn’t work out, I know my son would like them, I BET I could MAKE them sound OK. They would work perfectly as the rear channels in a surround sound behind my A8 Clones. Off topic; Since I use full amp bass tone controls PLUS 12 Db bottom EQ boost at low sound levels, could I plug one EQ into a second EQ for double the affect?

I guess....... I don't really need a center channel. I've already got one that needs a mate. I was hoping I could buy whatever they had, part it out, and get something out of it to keep. I think their price is about what the components are worth, Though........ and there isn't really anything there that I need/want.

It's a homebrew box. If it was made for playback might be a 416. In that case it's a bargain..but you will only know after opening it.

Hmm, thanks for re-energizing my dilema :-P I've got a single 416-8a on the shelf, so a second (assuming it's the new frame), would be an ideal find.

Well it looks like I won an auction for a kerosene heater (dirt cheap, too) that will take me over that way, so I've sent another email asking if I can take a look. The heater makes the speaker a short side trip.
