I bought these somewhere around 2005 from an elderly gentleman outside of Portland Oregon. He shipped them clear across the country in amazing double boxes.
I used them for a few years as surrounds in a 5.1 and for a brief time as a dual center channel. Truthfully for the last 7-9 years they have been sitting in boxes not getting used. I just pulled them down from the attic (not climate controlled!! 😳) tonight and unboxed them. And with 3 kids under 5 I don’t have the heart to have them in my living room (they’ll be destroyed in no time!). It may be time to let someone else enjoy them.
Is is there anything I should do to prep them before connecting them and seeing how they sound?
Any idea of a fair valuation? I know they are pretty rare but also know they aren’t going to fetch $2800.
Model H-12-WO
serial #s 7B40 and 7B41
I would rate condition a 7/10. The cane grills have a few spots on them and the cabinets have a few scratches here and there.
I was inspired by a recent ad on my local craigslist to resurrect this thread.
Check out this beautiful MATCHED pair of 58 shorthorns. Serial 885 and 886. Gorgeous!!
Frzninvt, I think I found your speakers' long lost older brothers...on the Boston CL.
These are 69 Maple (according to the owner) verticals with cane and the pieslice. Very nice!
If I was closer I would pick these up...
