    Re: Vintage Altec Madrid 872a pair on eBay, starting at $90

    Sometimes enthusiastic buyers do not consider the size or transportation requirements. Should have seen the face on my wife when I wheeled some battered, gutted Altec Magnificent cabs into the garage....... Might have been a very fast return trip, with nothing to do with the functionality of the speakers : )))

    It seems that in recent months there is an increasing trend of what appear to be completed sales that end up re-emerging as re-lists.

    I dabble in clocks, and i've seen this happening too often(to be coincidental) with some higher end examples.

    It’s been my experience that the second time around usually the item goes for less money. It’s good if you’re a buyer, and bad if you’re the seller.

    What type of clocks are you into Bowtie? Ive always wanted to get into pocket watches, but don’t really know where to start

    Posted "Update again: I have to relist these because the out-of-state buyer could not make it here. Again, these are for local pickup only! Thanks."

    After a little research, $250 seemed a fair price, but then realized that these are Santana size cabs, which are too small [~3.4 ft^3 net]
    for my needs.

    GM, Offer him the same 90 bucks he already sold them for and go pick them up. I'm pretty sure the 931-12 will fit in the cabinet, then you can drive to Danley and get a sub and have a modern system. I know it's no A-4 but the results will surprise you!

    I?m not sure why more people don?t use Uship. I haven?t bought speakers that way, but a few people I have sold speakers to have used them. They said it was a lot cheaper than using one of the big freight companies.

    I was considering these cabs to put my PAS coax drivers in, but the wife doesn?t like the lattice grills. I asked her how she feels about soffit mount speakers then
