Even the bin price of 400$ is nice! They say all original, but I?d still want to see the drivers before I handed over the cash.

Unfortunately for me Duluth is 6 hours from me, and my wife is not an understanding person when it comes to speakers

I asked the seller for some pics of the speakers with the backs removed. I had forgotten these have 420 woofers.

420s and a tweeter. great looking cabinets though.

During a week day it's ~10 min. away, though with the holiday shopping, who knows? Anyway, tried contacting 'them', but epay said server down. No tweeters shown. Noticed only two bolts holding the drivers! Where does it say $400 BIN?

The BIN went away when some big spender placed the 90 dollar minimum bid.

Since they are the "A" version, they should have 420-Y's with the coaxially mounted tweeter.

Too bad they're not late 420-8B models and a lot closer to me.

Do 420-B have the same frame/motor as the 416-B or are the motors slightly different?

I think we have already discussed that the 420a is the same frame/motor as a 416a. And the 420Y is just a 420a with the bracket for the tweeter on the front?

The 420s I bought to replace the burned out pair you have, have the 16" frame.
