Wow, I've never heard of those before. I'd love to see the driver compliment but the grills apparently don't even come off. How would you replace bad parts, etc?

A model 9 pic is in this thread:

Ok, the question is now, who is interested for their own use, and who is interested in 'bringing these home' to the gathering at Polk HQ in September?

I've got a few guys already that have agreed to pitch in for the 'greater good', and bring these back to Polk HQ to donate.

Cheers,
Russ

I'm in, but $70 shipping? That guy must be an amateur.

I'm in, so is Doro.

Off chance, is any member nearby for local pickup, that is driving in to the gathering?

I know many including myself would love to "have" them in their collection.

Polk HQ is where they belong, right next to the PA's. I'll pitch in towards bringing them home.

These pictures are part of a tour by a lucky person: http://www.donlindich.com/polk1.html

Email me your info Polk65. Still looking for a local pickup member that can make it to gathering, or help with a CP pony express.

Cheers,
Russ

I'm in. I think ohskigod lives kind of close (within an hour). How 'bout it , Lou?

I'm around two, if need be.

I'm in for half a bone.
JT

JT is in , Anthony talk to me. I've got the running tally, but don't want to post it here.

Starting to send emails guys, email me @ ranchodeaudio@comcast.net so I can put you 'in the loop'.

Cheers,
Russ

I'll fix the cabinets.

I suggest we edit out what we're chipping in from our posts and email Russ with the amount. It won't be to our benefit if the seller reads this.

Great link... that would be such an awesome tour.

I'm in as well....lemme know what you need.

BDT

I'm in. You've got mail.

i think i'm close enough to grab these, and barring freak circumstance i'm coming to polkfest. i'll even chip in if need be.

where in long island is he?

I live on Long Island and depending where this guy lives, it could be a long ride from NYC. If he lives on eastern LI, it could be two hours min from the city (not incl city traffic)

I would be glad to help out with this. However, I am not going to Polkfest so if someone could meet me in NJ, I can do a hand off. I would be coming from LI so if we could arrange a hand off somewhere in northern Jersey that would be great.

Let me know

Mike

hey, if i was willing to go to LI, i guess a hand off shouldnt be a problem :D
geess well figure it out when the time comes.

Are you coming to Maryland? If not, lemme know, I could meet you and take them.

Edit: Sorry, Lou, didn't read that right. If freak circumstances do occur, let me know.

thats what i figured, even in the slight chance i can not attend (or have to miss the friday, when i assume these things would be given to Polk), i could just pass them to you easily enough, either way, i'd say we have a viable enough chain to get this job done if it comes to it.

Awesome guys. I just emailed the seller, to verify local pickup was ok.

Cheers,
Russ

I'm in also so let me know what you need. $ or ?

He said local pickup is doable, now the waiting game.
