    All the pictures show deep rust pitting. They look like were chemically cleaned and painted. The bolts still show heavy rust. I would stay far away from these even thought a 902 diaphragm would work.

    That's kinda odd that someone would go to the trouble of cleaning up the bodies, but not pull the studs. Maybe they were so rusted, they thought they'd break? Maybe the person just isn't mechanical?

    i can make almost anything work. i end up in latin am countries. where our goal is to make something work with almost no tools and spare prts are not going to be overnighted in.
    one looks pretty clean. the one on the right shows corrosion around the symbolic fram. if it were tight enough then maybe the corrosion didn't make it to the groove the coil sits in. in that case these would be a great find. but without the fram lifted out it's impossible to tell.

    Now there's a pair of paperweights/doorstops!

    He never mentions the missing diaphragm screws, odd he doesn't show you the phase plugs since the diaphragms SHOULD be loose. He doesn't even give you a side shot to determine if they're 804/806/807 or 802/808 bodies.

    $14.99? Maybe.

    $114.99? Norfolk n Waypal..................

    My feeling is the one on the left is a write-off. for ONE good driver body it's a so-so deal.

    Look at the pics. That one shows severe pitting front and back, Looks like one side SAT in water...
