    The one on the right looks a litte rusty. Make sure you ask if it's working before buying.

    Might just be the camera, lens, angle.................... but those are the shortest 808's i've ever seen. They really look like 806's with 808 decals stuck on them.

    That's what I thought.They aren't 808's they are 806-8a's IMO ... Maybe mislabeled ?

    More likely 807....It's not a bad deal even with one bad driver..but I'd be tempted to do a screwdriver inspection before buying.

    Or else use the rust to negotiate down and mutter a prayer underneath my breath...

    FWIW the labels actually look like 806-8A so maybe the listing is just a typo ?

    Here's a pair of 808's with horns -- yes, these look to be the right size for 808's. But not nearly as good of a price...

    I would say that that corroded horn has been sitting on it's side, resting on the horn lip and the driver, standing in a few inches of water for a while. I would like to see what the inside of the rear cover looks like.
