Greetings all...
Over the weekend I had the good fortune to come across a pair of S-99/ Lancer 99's in near mint condition. The wood is in great shape, the corners are sharp, and even the wooden fret grilles are in great shape! They even came with the original packing. They are sequential serial numbers and are left/right matched. The drivers are perfect with no dings, dents or tears. Both foam surrounds (does this mean they've been reconed at some point?) are perfect with no dry rot.
Tag Sale Price: $40 the pair.
Only one problem. One of the LE-14a's has a rattle to it. I don't think the voice coil is blown, more likely the rattle is coming from the cone itself. Is this possible to correct without a recone?
If I do have to have it reconed, who should I have do the work? I have a local place that recones JBL, but I'm wondering if someone could recommend something better?
Thanks,
Alan
