There was a group called Piedmont Audio Society that had this type of thing near by there in the past. I had to travel down from Va Beach many times because there was nothing like it up here. Would love to see that again.
The 30's did not use the old advent woofers. They changed after the DQ20's. I cannot remember what the change to but info is out on the web. I'm sure the Advents would not work even after replacing the surround. The 30's were base reflex boxes.

I also thought that "white van's" always shouted about how good they were with graphs and specs on the labels. These have no labels? or evidence of removed labels?
