    Interesting Stereo Ads? Post a pic for memory lane's sake.

    I can't imagine this isn't in this thread somewhere, but I don't feel like looking at 292 pages to be sure. ;)

    Audiokarma's server needs your help

    I'm not on all that often, but I value the site enough to chip in a bit. Thanks for being around for when I do need to scratch my audio itch.

    My new $20 Pioneer SX-980

    Well, you may have overpaid for a garage sale, but I hardly think you were "taken". I've found http://www.silverpioneer.netfirms.com/ to be a useful site for all things silver-faced and Pioneer. Your unit was made in 78-79 as the last of the 900 series. 80 watts per side, so you have the...

    Saw an SX-1980 today, changed my life

    Perhaps you might be interested in the ultimate in the Pioneer silver faced line--the SX2250S: Yes, it's supercharged.

    Need help IDing a Harmon-Kardon receiver

    Old age is setting in; I feel this urge to guy forth and re-buy all the stereo I ever owned. Well, except that BIC turntable. :) At one point, I had a Harmon-Kardon receiver, 35w. Silver face. New in the late 70s. Can anyone help me with the model number or potential model numbers? I'd...

    Craigslist SX-1250

    He shoots! He scores! Enjoy it. I bet the price will make it sound all the sweeter.

    Let's Hear About Some of Your Pioneer Deals!

    My SX-1250 (in working order). I traded an under-cabinet LCD TV/radio that I was given for Christmas. So it was free, sorta.

    Finally found my SX-1250

    You are one lucky guy. Of course, your power company is going to love you. The neighbors, however, may not like it if you switch all those on at once and dim the lights. :)

    Need suggestions-bookshelf or smallish speakers

    Sorry it took me a while to get back to this, but thanks for the suggestions.

    Need suggestions-bookshelf or smallish speakers

    I'm putting together a starter system for my daughter, built around a Technics SA-600 that I just had recapped. I need suggestions for some decent bookshelf or small-sized speakers--something suitable for a dorm/small apartment. Can be classic or new, makes no difference. I would like to hold...

    Newcomer from NC

    Greetings. You'll find some very helpful folks around here. I have fond memories of Boone from back in the late 70s. Used to be some fine stereo stores there.

    Did you ever have "the fever"

    My solution as well. Do your research and decide how much you're willing to spend. Put your bid in the snipe engine and then ignore the whole process until you get an email that says yea or nay.

    Are these JBL speakers real?

    Well don't you guys just rock, or what? :ntwrthy: Seller is issuing a partial refund. That plus the savings on shipping will pretty much pay for the replacement woofers. Neither of us wins big, but neither of us loses big, either. I'm sincerely grateful to you all for your advice. I...

    Are these JBL speakers real?

    OK, as the FNG, I'm getting tired of being this weekends entertainment. ;)

    Are these JBL speakers real?

    He said he'd had them hanging in his studio for 10 years. Of course, that doesn't make it so. If he has sold the woofers, I can't tell. The only other thing he has for sale there is an SL-1200 TT. As far as early varients having black cones, I'll take your word for it. However, the...

    Are these JBL speakers real?

    OK, pictures of the woofers that were installed: Never heard of them, but I think they may be these folks: http://audiolabga.com If so, the value of the woofers is minimal. As far as the price, what are 4312s going for per pair? All the prices I was able to find were in the $600...

    At this point I'm in $333.

    Greeting from North Carolina

    One of those under-the-kitchen-cabinet LCD TV/DVD combos, new in the box. It was an unloved Christmas gift. I think the guy was nuts, but he had nothing in the unit--literally. He wanted the TV, so I guess we both came out OK.

    Are these JBL speakers real?

    Interestingly enough, my wife thinks I ought to keep the speakers and restore them rather than repackage and return. I'm less certain, but definitely interested. At this point, I'm pretty certain that the tweeter and midrange are original. They match every picture I can find of a 4312A...

    Are these JBL speakers real?

    Believe it or not, that was my first clue. I remembered them "weighing a ton", and when I picked them up, they felt light. That's when I started a bit of strategic disassembly and online research and wound up on this path. It has been a learning experience, that's true. I've been very...

    Are these JBL speakers real?

    Well, the seller has agreed to take them back. He said he was sorry for the confusion. I'm not sure what he means, because he did not note that the woofers had been replaced. He also didn't give me an address (which I did ask for), so I've emailed him back. We'll see. Careful examination...

    Are these JBL speakers real?

    I see you found them. If I had looked for pictures rather than reviews of the sound, I may have figured out this myself. However, I was going on half-remembered info from the old days, when JBL speakers were the ones most of my friends went into hock to buy. I liked the sound then and assumed...
