Well at least it shouldn't get drafty in here...or in there.

The putty is in excellent condition.

He does have two offers.

Interesting rating scale for the seller...Excellent condition...I wonder what good, poor, or fair condition looks like....:saywhat:

 

[EVBoy]

I see they sold for good money. Maybe there is something to adding putty.

 

[Auricauricle]

Well, those speakers do sound...rather...airy.

Dammmn! Maybe I should have left mine in original condition and gotten silly money for them. At least mine have the original badges.

For those who missed the auction, see pics attached.

It really isn't that bad of an idea. However, the way this was applied could have some room for improvements. Maybe it was left that way to prove it has been re-puttied.:yes:

He didn't have any choice, he used up all his speaker sealant on last years pesky window repair.

Oh my God --The speaker caulk guy is back.

Looks like the tweeter is completely covered with caulk. Who the hell would buy them like that?

Whaaa?!

No, that is what the factory stock tweeter looks like on the vintage AR speakers. The material looks like rock wool or similar.

On the pair that I own, I'm upgrading them to a modern tweeter as the originals were DOA when I purchased them.
