One step ahead. I replaced with 5.1 uF Dayton Audio caps. :)

I repaired the corrugated spider using epoxy. Then I finished the refoam and everything came out perfect. What great imaging in these little guys! Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the images. That's right. Separated at bottom of cone, top of corrugated suspension. I will definitely try reglue. 1) Best glue to use? 2) Any tricks to position before gluing since the cone and corrugated suspension are sagging down? Thank you.

I recently picked up a pair of Acoustic Research 18s speakers. Foam was obviously toast but all of the drivers seemed good EXCEPT one of the 8-inch cones was separating from the suspension. It's only attached about 3/4 of the way around and the cone doesn't spring back well because of it. I've...

I had a very similar receiver amp from Vector Research while back. I really loved the sound even compared to my Sansui and Marantz. For some reason it seemed to throw a great soundstage.

I just picked up a Sansui FR-D25 from a thrift shop and I'm very surprised how good it sounds! It has an AT71E stylus mounted to an unknown cartridge. I didn't expect much from a belt-drive turntable with no anti skate but... I'm enjoying it more than my Dual 1229Q, my Realistic Lab 440, and my...

Check the label. I once found a vintage leather jacket in the bins at BTP and sold it for $300.

:trebon:

Nice find! That sub can move some major air. Ran over $1000 new.

I do. Just sold one a month ago on ebay. 1s/1s in vg but only got $150. It was a great recording.

ELAC Miracord 825 $15 at a garage sale this morning. Spun up at both speeds. Looking forward to a listen tonight!

Just fyi, I had this same speakers brand new in 1982 and, yes, they were purchased at Crazy Eddie's in New Jersey. Just last year I came across the two way model with smaller woofer. I was instantly reminded of that great high end sound. Alas, I sold them before pulling the tweets. Does anyone...

Just checked the recent sales on that auction site. These drivers (without crossover!) haven't sold for less than $4, 000. Pairs have gone well upwards of $11, 000. Score of the year?

Amazing score.

Don't hold out on us. What are the Blue Note titles?

Thanks so much. You are right. I believe what I have are the Dana Model 1. Appreciate the help!

Need Some Help Identifying... Picked up two sets of speakers at the thrifts today. One was a pair of Realistic Nova 10 in great condition for $10 (not pictured). The other is a make that I can't identify. The signature one the badge looks like it says Dave. There are no other markings. Any ideas?

Habitat Restore I stopped by a Habitat for Humanity store today which I usually don't go to. I had heard that someone had seen speakers there a few weeks ago so I decided to stop by. I asked one of the workers where they keep the speakers that come in. He told me that they usually don't sell...

Wow! Gotta let us know if the refoam does the trick.

Hitachi HT-350 Picked this up at a local antiques shop. No cartridge or dust cover, but its heavy, direct drive, and the speed seems rock solid on the strobe. Best of all $13! Will throw a cart on soon and find out how it sounds...

Are you kidding me? Pics, pics, pics!

Congrats on the find! I picked these up with the Denon system at a garage sale about 5 years ago. I use them as my computer speakers and they sound fantastic. They image incredibly well and are a pleasure to listen to for extended periods.

What are those speakers you picked up?

Great! PM sent.
