    Fig,

    We are running out of room for glass. I am hoping to sell a bunch of our Chalet Glass this year to make room for more Czech Glass. With that said, I have my eye on a couple of pieces of Czech I would like to add to her collection.

    My 301's in the basement also need new foams....even though they were always treated with respect.....over time the foams just degrade.
    The 601's always were a kick ass pair of speakers.....& for $20....I'd buy those all day....nice find !!:singing::singing::singing::happy:

    And when in the dryer...if I dry them that way...

    I have four 901s Series II that I need to re-foam. Doubt I will ever get to it in my lifetime. They have nice walnut cabinets and are in good condition. Tried to sell them for $250.00 with the equalizer and got no takers. I thought this realistic given that the equalizer is worth $100.00 or more on its own. I could probably get this if I want to ship them but I really don't want to mess with packing and shipping.

    I've got a pair of Bose 800 PA speakers with equalizer. Nice speakers, sound good, but are much heavier than modern PA speakers. Unfortunately, weight matters when setting up for a gig......
