I've had something shipped to me from someone in her via UPS and something
is
terribly wrong with the speaker (I won't say names)..... I'll NEVER be
able to
use it. It looks GREAT, nice and shiny and old. But it was more than
likely
drop kicked by a worker because this piece is built like I tank and I'll
never
be able to use it because the speaker is shot in it, it's fine if turned
up at
the 'almost' second marker. After the second marker, forget it.Sux. :-(


Many speakers are repairable. Sometimes speaker coils can be re-centered or
similiar repairs. There are still alot of old speaker cones around, if it
needs to be reconed. Speaker repair is oftentimes discussed on
rec.antiques.radio+phono.
