Hi All,

I'm cleaning out some of the storage areas at a club where I work and
I have at least a half dozen blown 15" drivers. I already tossed some
of the cheaper looking stamped frame speakers but I still have 6 or
more die cast framed 15 speakers that are in otherwise decent
condition. I don't need _all_ of them re-coned as backup speakers so
what should I do with them? Are there any speaker repair places that
you know of that might offer any credit towards new speakers if I
donate these for them to repair and resell?

Thanks.

put them on fleabay
get 10$ each and double what you spend to ship them be happy they are out
of your way
it is highly unlikely that you will find anyone that NEEDS your blown
speaker, they probably already have one of their own

I actually asked someone at Orange County Speaker Repair if they would
want them so they could recone them and resell them but I was told it
would be too difficult for them to resell them. I might just off them
for free on Craigslist to someone that would be willing to repair them
cheaply. It just seems wrong to send them to the landfill.

** Place them face down on the veranda and they make dandy pot plant stands.

You can add a bright coloured coat of spray paint to liven up the appearance
..

If possible, un-bolt the magnet assembly for easier handling .

I made a nice lamp stand out of a spk once, just drill a hole in it and install
an old floor lamp pole, spray paint it silver and put it in your sound room, is
a nice conversation piece, and very hard to knock over!

I've been giving dead speakers to my local re-coner for years as
brownie points.

If you supplied some brands and model numbers it would be easier to
determine. Drivers reconed by a reputable firm should be as good as
new. That's assuming they are worth anything 'as good as new'. Without
more info, it's difficult to tell.
