Maybe I can get a better deal on the Craiglist ad, I was thinking a couple hundred. :oops: :shock:
Just going by eBay prices for vintage Jensens, the 15" speaker itself would bring several hundred dollars. In one sense, you're buying the speaker and getting the amp for free. While the amp may work now, there are the unavoidable reliability issues although nothing showing in the pics. The parallel eBay auction means he's willing to ship and dis local offers. All the value and risk are in the speaker; these things can still work with minor tears at the edge of the cone but with moderate use, the tears will extend. I'd guess he'd refuse an offer between 2 -3 barrels of oil; I wouldn't offer 5 barrels w/o an audio/visual on that speaker. cj
