jephdood Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Edit.. No longer looking.. I drove a ways today to pick up a pair of RB-5 II's in Cherry.. I made sure they were in very good shape before making the drive (I'm kinda picky like that, old speakers or not), and I was very happy with what I saw when I got there. They were 95% flawless. The guy offered to help carry them down to my car, and while he was standing there waiting for me to pick mine up, he dropped his. The woofer now scrapes when pressing in on it (voice coil) and the grill is broken in several places. Surprisingly, the cabinet is still in good shape and the crossover appears to be intact. So, I'm now looking for a K-1084-SB driver and a good grill. I'll call Klipsch tomorrow and see if they still have any of these parts left, but I'm not hopeful. I thought I'd post here and see if anyone has either. I got a good enough deal that it should still be worth it to repair. Pretty sure the same driver is used in other speakers as well.. Thanks.. jeff Edited June 17, 2015 by jephdood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 4, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2015 Wow....hopefully you got a hefty price reduction for the damaged speaker. Sorry to hear that the transaction didn't go as well as planned. Hope you are able to repair it with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jephdood Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 He was selling the 5's along with some other electronics, none of which I really wanted, but he said the deal included all. He's got a disability and he just wanted someone to take everything-- a CD changer, an old cheap receiver, and a tape deck and the speakers-- all for $80. He offered to give me $20 back for the 'booboo'... but I didn't take it. He already felt horrible about it, and I was getting a really good deal anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 4, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2015 $80 is a fantastic deal. Hopefully the only damage was to the woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jephdood Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Yeah.. I'll take the driver out of the good one and test tonight to make sure. *EDIT - All is well with the speaker after swapping the good driver into it. So yeah, if anyone has a like-new woofer and/or a grill, let me know. Already have an incident submitted into Klipsch support to see if they have any of the old parts.

HudsonValleyNoah Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think i have both, give me a few days to get back on here and tell for sure (I just saw the grill and i just got to check if it's the 4 ohm woofer or the 8 that you need ...)

colterphoto1 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) I had a four-pack of RB5II once upon a time and acquired a spare woofer (I think) let me get out to shop tomorrow and check but I'm pretty sure there is a NIB one here. Noah - it should be a 4 ohm model for the single woofer RB series. 8 Ohm would have been used in the center and towers.

colterphoto1 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I have a 4 ohm (measures actual 3.2u) 8" driver marked RB5 NIB it's the black dust cap in factory carton. No wrinkles, bb marks etc. Will double box. Researching a fair price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HudsonValleyNoah Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 OK, yes as said, I have both, new in box, Original boxes. But if you worked something out with MC, he needs the opportunity to sell them to you more than I do. But, get back to me if you still need them.
