Creebling at the Turntables
During a recent thrift visit, I picked up a pair of Design Acoustic PS-10a speakers.
Here's the Salvation Army price tag - note the date of 4-8-17 and price of $19.96 (1pc).
Since the speakers are an unique design, I was interested, but not at $40 for the pair, especially since the woofers were rotted.
At this point, I realized that I was in Goodwill, not Salvation Army. Apparently, these speakers were a "catch and release" and ended up being re-donated to Goodwill.
Hmmm - what to do? No way to test and someone else gave up on them. Additionally, they only had the SA price tag - no Goodwill price.
I took them to the cashier and pointed out the SA tag. She gave me the pair for $6.99...
The kicker is that I am certain I saw these same speakers over a year ago when they were at SA and passed because of the price. Never say never....
Here's some pics. The drivers all work and I have the grills. The foam on the woofers is completely shot. My listening test showed promise, so I will refoam and post progress here.
