The holes are seriously awful, I have no idea how to seal them. And I was told replacement cones werent available yet. I will call Mr. Crites and make sure

I 've decide to keep the 500c and have Craig do a complete rebuild on it. So if anyone is looking for a really beautiful SX-1250, mine will be going up in the next few days. I'm thinking of offering it at $800 plus shipping. Any thoughts on the price, or just put it on the Bay, where people have been paying crazy prices.

You can expect a 500c to show up at your door one of these days. Matbe I'll sell the 1250 and run my other setup through the Nak gear thats set up in my bedroom.
I'll shoot you a pm

Nice buy. Matbe we can trade the Forte II's I picked up last week for those LaScalas? Straight up of course, I'll eat the difference.

I wish I only had 2 receivers to choose between. Nak, Denon, Sansui etc. I think I'm becoming the hoarder, so I've been told to thin it out. I have enough gear for 2 systems, so I am having a hard time selling the Fisher. I restored a 1919 Victorola cabinet that the Fisher fits in beautifully. I dropped a turntable in where the old speaker was and have the amps inside under the Fisher. I really like the way it looks.
The 1250 has been restored by a gentleman out by DeKalb who does great work so I should get quite a few years out of it.

Everyone is telling me to hold on to these until I get my Khorns, the tubes will outshine the SX-1250 I am running right now. I have been instructed to thin the herd so this is my thinning.
Anyone interested yet?

If I'm interested in something. I quit posting it here. We have some appraisers who call the seller and all of a sudden the price soars. Looking at CL is a pain in the *** but it has provided some good pick ups. Keep it to yourself if you are sure you want something, close the deal, and then let us know about it

I'm in Chicago and am looking for a 1 stop shop for repairs. Receivers and pre/pro seems to be the issue at this point. I''m going to try and rebuild the cones in the passives on my Forte II
Can anyone recommend which way to turn, I know Midwest Audio is close, but I do have somewhat of a budget
Thank you in any advice you can pass along

Hoked them up last night, one of the tweeters is out and as I said they punched the passives out when they loaded them. My fault, I told them I would take care of it and they were just helping out. I kind of like the add on cabinets, It sets the bottom of the speaker just at the top of the couch. Quartets are in the pic next to the new Forte II

I picked them up today. Nice people just in their hurry they loaded them face up and puynched the passives out.Kinda of interesting. they made bases for the fortes almost the same size as the forte itself so the stand almost 5 feet tall. They did a nice job with the paint job. just a couple spots need touch up. I'll post a couple pics when I get home
