Sonk/Mika... I experienced one, single, solitary wife induced "clearout". I lost 100's of books.

You're safe, these were found far away in NC!

Some of my best pieces were "found" in NC! Where you from?

Your wife hasn't had one of her clearouts has she?

Seems like a perfect way to sober up the household budget, make Jaff rebuy his collection every once and a while

I so didn't want to let that out of the bag but yes, $30 for the pair. The Penta 1's I got that day cost the same. You don't want to know what the Beocenter 9000 cost me, it was even less.

YOU ARE KILLING ME!

Amazingly the CD & tape player both work perfectly! It's in mint condition as well with the Beolink remote. I love it. Where are you located on the east coast?

Thank you for the kind offer but I just couldn't take advantage of a fellow Beo-phile by making such an absourd profit LOL!

I think mine are Penta 1's. The model is 6603. I must have not had the speaker cable plugged in all the way. I hooked them up again today and the sound much better, they still sound like crap as I have a mid driver out in each tower. They were the same price that I paid for the 5000's so I think I swing the price for a couple new mids. Once I get them running properly I think I'm going to look harder at the Penta upgrades available. I take it the Penta 1's aren't the most desirible of the lot.

I will pay double that if you wish to sell!

Bargain!!

At that price you could cover them with whatever takes your fancy. You are never going to lose money!

What model Penta are you talking about?

Splendid advice! It hadn't occured to me to keep the original fabric. I will be certain to do so now. By the way, I had mentioned the Penta's I purchased didn't sound right earlier in another post. I took the grill covers off and all of the driver surrounds are in perfect shape. Do the controls at the bottom of the speakers have any particular order they need to be set at? Thanks again.

I'm sorry, I'm in the US. It seems the quest is now on. What I would like is to find material as close as possible to factory of course and I guess the only way to do that is start doing some leg work. How true on how long is a piece of string, great way to phrase that.

In regard to joeyboygolf I picked them up for $15 each. At $30 I figured I can live with the torn grill cover until I can find a suitable replacement. Thanks very much, this site is tremendous wealth of information.

Any thing other than the original material will have a vast effect on the value. However, with a torn fret, you should not have paid a great deal for them!

Personally, I would not entertain anything other than the original so I wouldn't buy them at any price unless I wanted them for spares.
