rivlinm Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) I am considering selling my late 80's black La Scalas. I bought them used about ten years ago and they have been great, but a few years back I discovered termites. I treated them with chemicals (live in a condo so couldn't tent) and they seem to be better, but I think I just want them gone. But before I commit to sell, does anyone know how much it would cost for all new wood, and putting my horns and such in? Would I be better off scrapping the wood and selling for parts? Also willing to just sell to anyone who wants to pick them up. Let me know if interested. Edited January 20, 2021 by rivlinm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before much more is said, do you have any idea about the value at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivlinm Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 I don't have much input, that is why I came here. Willing to sell, but maybe new cabinets or trading for some nicer Heresys would be ideal... Then looking for offers/ideas on selling as is, or selling just the parts and tossing the wood.

Will wait for other opinions and yes their could be trades available from someone here. Parting them out may involve shipping of course. There have been speakers shipped as well. Let's see what others here come up with. Guessing that both speakers about the same condition? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think only one has termites, but they are both in similar shape, would be easy to repair (aside from where the termites ate the wood mostly on the bottom plate) with some wood putty and paint. The small issues have never bothered me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Also @rivlinm a close up of the label on each like serial numbers on rear and pics of whole speakers would be great. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
