Estate sale Paragon, Detroit C/L

Does not appear to be a real Paragon there. DIY or something else that's been hacked.

It does look a bit small, maybe it;'s a Metregon???

Ha!!
Great minds, eh John...:lmao:

BTW, the other components aren't in the same class. I wonder what drove it?
 
no i did not get the mac and not sure what it was. sale starts tomorrow i just talked to the lady running the sale, she said her brother is getting them refurbed sp I guess they will appear on the bay. not really in the market, cant afford the caps for the ones i have..
sorry, should have realized that is not a paragon, I have seen enought pics to know. i guess i was a little rushed due to another matter.

I'd go too, but Livonia is too far for the other stuff listed, although a Denon TT could be quite nice. Mine is :yes:
 
Well I guess I will go this afternoon and pick thru the leftovers. I normally would have been there as soon as possible, but instead I wanted to get this thing home. She came from neighboring Redford, I will post a write-up and pics in tube forum later..

The Metragon

Was sold as an enclosure for $594.00 enclosure only !
''The Metragon houses two matched loudspeaker systems'' ...''a variety of JBL systems may be installed''...

Could be anything from a pair of D123's $144.00 ''new''
to the S82 load @ $1,128.00 ''new''
That would be LE15A's with 375 / h5041's, 075 / LX5's and N7000's
and everything in between.
11 options shown in my ''little black book'' :D
 
OK, so I caved and went.
The "Paragon" is still there and still $4995. I didn't discuss it much with the sellers as they are a local estate sale company, it's not a privately run sale, and they don't deal much w/o involving their clients. I did see a cracked Lansalloy surround on the left woofer and a squarish horn above it through the grill, but there was a post-it not with D130 written on it on the check out stand, so who knows.

The rest of the sale was fully priced to high, $95 for a Marantz 2215B, $120 for a 2220B, $120 each for the Miracords and $85 for a Denon DP-37f; all with no carts. LPs were $3.00 a pop, and I picked up one. Good luck on getting $3.00 for Babs and Herb.

I did see AK'er Whell there; it's right in his neighborhood, so it wasn't a complete loss, plus I got a deck scrubber for $2.00 too.

BTW, a better picture form the estate sale company's listing..

Squarish horn +Lansalloy should = S72,S82or S92 load if its S82 it has 375 drivers !

I doubt they will get 5G's in this state.
I wonder if they are 50% off tomorrow :scratch2:

I went as well... I asked if they will be discounting tomorrow and the answer was it depended on family. The guy I talked to said most likely items will be discounted but 50% is not likely. A lot of stuff there but the pricing seemed quite high.
Also the seller insisted it was a Pragon but custom built per origanal owners spec's. Supposed to be a D-130 woofer, I did not see a horn and seller had no clue as far as components inside other than the D-130
 
Well, I don't ever recall a D-130 w/ Lansalloy surrounds and the one on the right definitely had cracked Lansalloy at about 9:00. And it's a spitting image of a Metregon I saw today researching this stuff.

Moot point though, $5000, $2500, heck, even $1000 is more than I'd pay, unless I knew for sure there were 375s inside.
 
Lansalloy

Well if Andyman saw Lansalloy it wasn't a D130. I can show them the catalog,
It is definitely a Metregon.
