What are the odds these electrostatics can be brought back to life?

Those look kinda cool. Don't know what's being said in the ad but they do look interesting.

Those look like Gauss woofers ! Wish I had some cash.

Wow, yeah those definitely look like they would be worth the $, just based on the drivers alone...

Bout 50:50, either they will or won't work. As for repair of the electrostats, hope its the crossover instead.

probably only 1 way to find out. Are ya feelin' lucky? Well, do ya, Janik? (in best Harry Callahan voice?)

BTW, you should check out the Sansui AU717/TU717 thread out of Fort Worth, might interest you.

SAE electrostats

Those electrostat panel drivers appear to be RTRs- just not in their usual blue color.. If so, there is a guy in S. Dakota who regularly offers NOS of both sizes on ebay.

Having taken 4 years of spanish in HS 100 years ago, I was able to pick out something about "good condition" and "price negotiable".


I think.

Well, he has slowly lowered his price every couple weeks, and now has an ad for $230, if I remember correctly. I also found this info online, making them sound pretty sweet. It could also explain why the tweeters don't work for him...


The SAE Mark XII is an electrostatic speaker.
James Wong (March 23, 2005): These were sold during the mid 70's and are very high quality. It's a three way design with an electrostatic top end, a 5" mid, and an awesome 12" woofer.
They need to be plugged into a wall outlet to energize the stats. They needed a minute or so for an internal relay to kick on. A super heavy duty GAUSS woofer which probably contributes to almost half the weight of the entire speaker. The woofer's got a rolled cloth surround so it should lt should last forever.
The crossover allows for a choice of crossover frequencies and levels.They're big{27" x 17" x12.5" deep} and weigh 66lbs.each.
