Divorce/Relocation Sale TONS of stuff!

[ben.]

1/25 I am seeing if I can raise $2500 by Monday 1/27. I will not be insulted by any offers that will get me there. Bundle them up, make offers, let's see if this can happen. The iron is hot. Hit it now. Let me know what you need to make it happen. Adding some pics and info to end of thread shortly.

Note: I will try to keep edits in red to call attention if you are revisiting this.

So, shedding my skin. Simplifying. That means no tubes, no horns, no vinyl, no stuff I don't really need to be happy. I want to offer my gear here first, as for a long time this was a community that I felt close to and of which I am still quite fond. I'm located near Buffalo and Rochester NY. Zip is 14067. Please pm, email or post to thread with any questions or anything. Posting some without prices pending evaluation of condition or research. Pics pending, please ask only if you are really interested in a purchase, not curious as my time and resources are limited.

Can ship via truck freight at commercial (reasonable) rates. International parcel shipping fine.

sorry to hear about anyones hardship... you will be okay, keep positive.

[Mike Lindsey]

Ben,

Sorry to hear about this. You have a lot of great gear, and I would be interested in it if I were in a little better shape financially myself. I am interested in the VPI 16.5 (depending on the price), and would be interested in your vinyl but I doubt I could do the whole lot, plus I live in FL.

Mike

[iRONic]

Best of luck to you, Ben.

PM sent.

[CECAA850]

Sorry to hear of the circumstances surrounding your sale.

Just sent you a PM, Mike. VPI 16.5 listed at $450 now with the extras. They are $650 new?! Wow. Great machine, though.

[ben.]

Thanks everyone for the support and interest so far! This is a very positive step for me. Gear can be replaced, and I need to lighten my load and raise money to be able to have more freedom of choice. It's all good!

[tblake10]

Somewhat reluctantly sent a pm considering circumstances but glad you see this as a positve step. Wish you the best.

[sheltie dave]

Hello Ben,

I sent you a pm. Howard

[mustang guy]

I feel bad for you. When you get the chance, could you strike though the items that are spoken for?

Again, I'm sorry to hear you are going through a divorce.

Craig

[ben.]

Hey guys,

I will strike through sold items - good idea and thank you.

Got a bit of a queue for the Mc30. I've got the PMs mentioned here - and will go in order. Here are the pics I snapped today. Not great shots, but hopefully they are of some use.

[hdspeakerman]

Ben,

I got your message and I will reply. Howard

[The Dude]

Looks like a good price on the MC30s. Sorry to hear of situation, good to be positive about it.

[tromprof]

PM sent on K-horn bins

[NOSValves]

Sorry to hear you have to part with your gear! I'm not surprised you have a list of folks interested in the MC-30 that was a smoking deal! Good luck!

[oscarsear]

The Altec 290 midrange drivers - 16 or 8 ohm? And are they using the phenolic diaphragms??

Heh.. yeah I may have a left a little on the table with that one. Happy to have them go to a good home, though.

[ben.]

The Altec 290 midrange drivers - 16 or 8 ohm? And are they using the phenolic diaphragms??

I believe they are all 8 ohm. All phenolic per 290 spec. Excellent question. Any other phragm and you're crossing over too high to play really well with the K bins. I'll do my best to check on the details tomorrow. Thanks!

Yeah, these were my other options in lieu of the JBL 2482 drivers. I need 16 ohm however. I did get the 2482's and they sound grand (using Al Ks' steep slope crossover) with Dave Hoovers Elliptrac horn. But I thought if these were available and correct why not have them too???
