Could you elaborate on how the new driver "isn't going to try and reach up as high now"?

Look up ATX Record Players on any of the major social media formats.

I love that turntable! Great, something new to think about.......

Same here. I'm going to the store to make them an offer. They reduced the price of their bottle of GTS by 50% from their crazy "speculating" price. So I hope an offer will motivate them even more. BTW we are talking way over retail still, but hey, it's supply and demand. The secondary market scares the hell out of me!

Since this has turned into an unobtanium whiskey thread, I'm going to make an offer on a bottle of George T. Stagg tonight!

That's a heavy pour of the Pappy! I'm really trying to make mine last, but it is a difficult task....

Great work! I'm curious about your process. Did you veneer the entire motor board before putting the new front edges on? I'm trying to figure out why you cut the edges off. I figured the corners were real banged up, or you could veneer the entire motor board before replacing the edges to avoid trying to cut a piece to perfectly fit the opening. If I'm guessing the order of veneering it would be, motor board 1st, replace edges, veneer top, sides and inside new edges, then faces of new edges. Also how do you trim your overhangs? I have a razor blade edge tool, but it can sometimes give funky cuts with burls and cutting along certain grains. I've had the best luck with overhanging about 1/16" then sanding flush. I'm getting ready for another veneering project, and I'm always looking to learn new methods. Your work is inspiring!

I have some K-600 metal horns I would like to part with. Let me know if you haven't found some already.

Yes, they are still available. You can contact me via email bnrmopar@gmail.com if you are not able to use PMs because of your post count.

Downsizing forces me to clean out the audio closet. These 18 " JBL woofers were for another project that was never realized. These have not been used since being reconed with aftermarket rebuild kits. JBL kits are like hens teeth. They check out just fine and are in great shape. If you into pro audio or just like overkill, then these may be for you. Specs can be found easily online. I'm looking for $450 shipped in the CONUS. These are cross posted on other forums.

Downsizing forces me to clean out the audio closet. These are some very nice JBL 2482's. I planned to use these in a 3-way speaker project that just never was completed. These drivers were tested by Jim Cullison from this forum on some 225 Hz wood horns that some of us were building several years ago. They tested great and sound great they just don't play up very high due to the original JBL 16 ohm phenolic diaphragms.I put alot of work into these including upgraded binding posts. They have some hairline cracks in the throat as most of these do. If you know what these are, then you will recognize how nice these are. I am looking to get $450 shipped in the CONUS for the pair. These are cross posted on other forums.

Downsizing forces me to clean out the audio closet. This is one of many unrealized projects. My home theater consists of 4 rf-7's and an rc-7. A long time ago I came across a new rf-7 that was damaged in home delivery and the business trashed the cabinet and saved the parts. I bought these and have never used them. I was told all parts were new, but I suspect one of the woofers was used to replace someones less than perfect driver because 1 of the pair I received has a small dimple in the dust cone. Otherwise everything else is in excellent shape. I do not want to separate this set right now. I'm looking for $350 shipped in the CONUS. Let me know if you have any questions and i'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for looking.

Would you be interested in a pair of JBL 2482? I'm looking to start clearing out some stuff, and they are on the list. Let me know. Jeremy

Copper spikes

Glass tops

Edit: Sold to a nice young man who came and picked them up! Thanks for all the interest. There will be more to come soon! I have a pair of original RF-7's for sale. they are approximately 9 years old. I am the original owner of these black ash, consecutive numbered floor standers. These were the rear speakers in my home theater set up, so they were never pushed hard at all. Priorities change and these are being replace by in wall speakers to free up some floor space. They have custom glass tops and copper painted spikes to match the cones. I would rate these 8 or 9 due to age. They are in excellent condition with no scratches or chips. All pegs are in tact on the grilles. The only blemish is where the feet mount to the cabinet, they have an indentation. All RF-7's that have the out rigger feet installed have this blemish. It is not visible when the feet are on. I only noticed it when I removed the feet to put them back in the factory boxes. I will be clearing out some other things in the near future. Including 1988 Oak Oil Cornwalls and parts for projects that were never realized. If you have any questions let me know, Thanks, Jeremy

Are you interested in original RF-7's? I have a pair of nice black ones with glass tops and copper floor spikes. They were the rear surround speakers in my HT and it was just overkill. Looking for in walls and moving these RF-7's on to a new home. I'm in Northern IL.

If anyone is interested, I think I have (2) NIB Aura pro bass shakers, that I could sell. I'll look when I get home. I think I bought 6 and only ended up using 4. It has been about 6 years so I'm not sure what I have anymore. I'll post back later. Jeremy

I paid $700 a piece for (4) Rf-7's about 6 years ago. I think $1700 is pretty steep. I think $1200 is tops to consider. Hope it works out for you. Jeremy

Hi Gregg, I kind of wondered if he bought the one HarryO was selling, but I never dug any deeper. I just wanted to make sure it was compatable. I have both versions of the 3009 and I learned the hard way about the match-up. I just did not want to see anyone make the same mistake I did. OP will be very happy with that combo. Jeremy

Which version of the 3009 tone arm do you have? If you have the S2 with the fixed headshell and screw on counter weight, then this is not the cart for you. It is too heavy. If you have the earlier version with a removable headshell and split counter weight then you will be fine. Not all SME 3009's are same. BTW I run a ZU103 With an early SME 3009 on my Thorens TD124 and it's a great combo. Jeremy
