gmudge Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I have a beautiful pair of Belle's for sale. My wife and I are parting ways, my beloved Belles are too big for an apartment. They are walnut, no marks at all. I built ALK crossovers with goertz inductors and hovland caps. The woofer and mids are wired with XLO and the tweeter with jenna labs wire. They sound great. I am sure someone out there can provide a good home for them. I have no intention of shipping them. I live in Windosr Ontario Canada. If anyone is interested drop me a line and I will be happy to answer any questions and upload some pics.. Gary fiftysixstrat@hotmail.com[][] Can soemone give me an idea how much I should be asking for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmudge Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Sure I'll post some pictures but it will have to be tonight. They are backed against a big bay window the back light would not allow the pics to turn out well. I have to take pictures anyway so I'll do it tonight and post them.

Gilbert Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hey Fini, yes I'm drooling, but I'm a hard headed bastardd, and I will continue to hold out for an early 70's vintage with a grill cloth in anything but black. The condition of these is awsome, but I'll continue the hold out. I did try contacting Trey about purchasing one of the last pairs of NEW Belle's, but he said the grill cloth is only available in one type,.....you guessed it, black[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Is there an asking price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I have not checked around for prices on late belles, but a friend paid $ 1200 cdn for a local pair here, walnut oil, very rare in this part of Ontario. They needed one woofer ( lead in wire broken ), and the tweeter diaphragms were toast. If I recall correct, they were '87 or '88 models. Cosmetically, they were very very nice shape, one small sliver of edgebanding missing. He probably could have found a place to replace the lead-out wires ( coil is still fine ), but went ahead and purchased a new woofer anyway.

Tom Mobley Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Gilbert, Just because the grill cloth is black doesn't mean it has to stay that way. If you can work a stapler you can change the cloth to whatever you want. Or, send me the grilles and new cloth, I can do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmudge Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Yes the asking price is 2200 USD but I'm open to offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Ha ! , Thats like $5,000.00 Canadian , Right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 A few years ago, the Canadian dollar was weak, and the exchange was 67c on the dollar, now it is much much higher, today's rate is 84.45. Monday, November 7, 2005 2,200 Canadian Dollar = 1,857.95 US Dollar 2,200 US Dollar (USD) = 2,605.02 Canadian Dollar (CAD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
