Today was awesome! AKer freddymac2 contacted me about these about a month ago, asking if I knew anyone that would want them, for free! Yes, FREE! Pfffhhh, well of course I know someone!
Joe had to wait a bit on the original owner, who I believe was a doctor, and purchased these when he was in college, to get them from the owners house, and he delivered them today! Thanks Joe! You're awesome!
They will need cab restoration, unfortunately they served as plant tabletops, and original foam grills and badges are long gone. Some black grill fabric was scotch taped to the original metal frames, which look perfect, cloth will be eventually tossed. The woofers are very clean and surrounds look perfect. The plastic lenses are also perfect, but dusty. Overall they need a good cleaning, they've been sitting for years.
I'll run an extension cord to the garage, (no power) with an amp, and see how they sound, good or bad. I've personally always liked the design of these with the open fabric side vents.
They will stay in my garage as the cave is full of kitchen stuff while it's being remoddled. Also a better place to start the cab sanding and restoration.
I've done some preliminary reading about them, their sound and sound short comings, and the many upgrade mods ect....
This will be a slow, take my time restoration. They are big, my wife was watching as Joe & I lifted them into the garage. "To big for any of our rooms" she said, clearly establishing that immediately! They are heavier than my 910's! About 125lbs, 910’s 100lbs.
So here's some pics as they arrived. As always, all comments, grill and badge sources (if grill repros are even available) suggestions and advice are appreciated.
Cheers, Glenn

He's dying to compare mine and/or his upgraded 300s to his M2 clones, and thinks it's quite possible they are a bit more 'musical'. I've measured mine as pretty much flat to 20hz already - no EQ needed at all.
