henry4841 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I look at them thinking how the original owners used them as a tool dragging them around for many a concert. Old Soldiers that could tell many a story. That was what LaScala's were originally supposed to be, a tool for musicians. Worth bringing back to life for someone with the ability. I enjoyed seeing them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWOReilly Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Maybe not in the living room but in the basement or shop they'd be perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 If I decide to buy them I'll do the Rat Rod route with anything that needs replacement/repair other than the cabinets. In fact unless they've got real problems I'll just listen to them for awhile and see what I like/don't like. They have soul and I am single. It'd be cool to have something that looks that aged/rough and sounds so good. I've got the class D bug so it would suit that just fine. Be a 4 hour round trip. Hmmmmm.....Can I pay with PayPal w/o an account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezin' Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Also do I have to have a farcebook account? I don't and do not want one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as paying, you and the seller probably both have Zelle in your bank accounts. It's fast and free. I used it to buy my La Scalas at $600, and they are a work in progress.

tragusa3 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Agree with a poster above, that all I see are stories! I would enjoy having them for that reason alone. I have my LS behind a theater screen and they are very nice. I could just as well have a beat up pair and save a grand or two. Hmmm. 😈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
