If you asked him to pull the usuable drivers and ship only those, WOW , maybe zero shipping charges ??

Usable?
You mean there are usable parts on those??
hmmmmm musta missed em
Okay, I'll admit it.. I bought them for a total of $65 plus a 150 mile round trip to Columbus. Once I get 'em home I'll do a post-mortem and see what's salvagable. If all that's left is one good midrange and two mismatched crossovers I can recoup the investment selling them. I have one 035ti already as a spare for my 4406's so maybe this will work out.
BTW.. I promise I'll hide them behind some sort of black grillcloth and wire frame 1/4-circle screen I'm trying to create to minimize some of the electronic altar look of the home theatre's front speaker/sub stacks. Any ideas for creating something nice-looking and acoustically transparent about five feet high that won't fall over when the cats try to climb it?
Hee, hee. The LHF confessional....
I think I hit the trash collector's jackpot. Both 127H-1's are recent recones and in good shape. One 104H is a recone and the other one is okay except for the dustcap. I got a 4412 crossover in one and a 4410 in the other. Anybody want the 4412 unit?
The black spraypaint finish is the show-stealer. I'll just call it piano black, keep the lights down, and stay a few feet away.
If I fab two new crossovers using decent caps and air-core inductors and chase down another 035 I'll have maybe $175 into them and be a happy cheapskate.
I could see that the woofers were intact, needed dustcovers, the crossovers I beleive are close in the 4410 and 4412s, close enough that you could download the schematic and change some values and have it (don't shoot me, Giskard, I am just guessing, here:dont-know). Stripping the paint would be possible , too.....the shipping cost (and lack of project time) is what kept me away. A few years ago, I would have gone for it. Sounds like you did ok...for $65, two working woofers, and two 035ti, why not?
dont forget the grills.....How did the 4412 componets get into a 4410 ?

The Long Binh Jail?
Inside joke for us old farts...
Amazed I'm still alive!
Maybe he lost the woofs and and one crossover to an angry woman or a DEA raid.
The crossovers are totally different in size and appearance but identical in design. At first glance I thought the 4412 unit was a simpler design because the board and components are a lot more compact. Now I don't know what I'm sure of.

I would not attempt to remove spray paint from veneer. At least they weren't painted white or something worse.

I mean you can be arrested for kicking a pet , so this should be an offense too....
Hey those are MINE.. Aren't they SWEEET!
Hope you can rehab them . I have sets of 4412's and 4410's and they all are decent speakersHey those are MINE
start a trend of reverse "parting out" ..."parting in"
