Part out or sell outright pr. of monitor 5's?

[starkiller]

i have a pair of monitor 5's that sound great but dont look so good. nothing horrible but years of use and moving around and stuff. i dont know anything about woodworking so dont know how much work can be done to them to bring them back, so thats why i was thinking about parting them out..


thoughts?

pics? What are you looking for them? Is the cabnets broken or just scratched and are the drivers and tweeters OK?

[starkiller]

pics in a day or two...cabinets are just scratched up, with maybe a gouge or two but nothing broken, all drivers just fine, was using them as rear surrounds to my monitor 10's till i went all "british" with kef and castle speakers, so the polks just sit and i dont want them to go to the goodwill. dont know what i want for them, obviously it would be cheaper just to ship the drivers and such..like i recently did on a set of epi 100's...but local pickup is cool too...

Which Model 5's do you have?

[starkiller]

umm, serial number just says "5", does it depend upon the tweeter?

[bikerboy]

Hi,
Not to highjack your thread but I have a single monitor 5 and I live in seattle. So if someone wanted a center or spare tweeter for your pair. I have posted it before but no one needed a peerless tweeter. Great sounding speakers, but I dont need them. Good luck. :)

does it have a fuse on the back?

[starkiller]

no, no fuse....

Personally anytime you can sell them complete w/o parting them out it's best. Since they are just lowly Monitors :D (not SDA's) no problem parting them out if someone is in need of parts.

Since they are not fused and have a poly switch they are later production 5b's. The Monitor 5 series II have the black/goldish Sl2500 tweeter.

They are really not that bad. I have seen alot worse. Try to sell them together. I bet you could get pretty good money, for the pair.

Hi Bikerboy,

I'd be interested in one peerless tweeter! I live in South Australia and would be glad to pay postage and a reasonable price for the tweeter.

Cheers,

Mark

shipping would be a killer as they weigh in at a total of 47lbs, plus, probably a charge for the oversize box unless i box seperately which means a higher shipping cost also..

Shipping won't be as bad as you think. I shipped a 89lb amp in a three foot square box last month, for $23, FedEx ground from MI to NY.

William, MI to NY fedex can drive your box with your amp. They cannot drive to South Australia.

I did a quick quote on fedex.com from seattle washington to Adelaide South Australia with a box of 20" x 20" x 20" @ 47 lbs and it came out to $404.91

Who said anything about shipping the speakers to Australia? Gretsch was just asking about a tweeter from Bikerboy. Nothing to do with the original poster (starkiller).

Try to follow the discussion.:D

BTW, we ship to Australia all the time, that tweeter can probably be shipped for $40 or so, FedEx International economy.

With those prices I'll have to cancel my shippment to Mars now.:cool:

list them on your local craigslist for $75. They'll be gone by the end of the day.
