Hi all,
I just joined here. I'm in Shadyside and I drool over vintage silver hi-fi gear. My system currently consists of a vintage Hitachi SR-303 receiver (found it curbside!), a newer NAD cd player and a vintage Technics SLQ-303 tt that I rescued from an old coffeshop backroom getting cleaned out. I'm using newer Polk speakers but I also have an older pair of Infinity RS-9 bookshelf speakers (another curbside find), but they need a lot of work and since they're older I'm having difficulty finding replacement woofers. Feel free to contact me if you want to chat all things stereo.

Welcome to the forum.  Are the woofers in need of re-roaming?  If so, I can teach you how to do it. Stop by the shop any evening. 8)

Thanks
One of the speakers is in good, original shape. The other...well not so good. The woofer has actually been replaced with a generic Rat Shack speaker that has completely bit the dust. I've combed the Internet for either an original woofer to throw in or an equivalent replacement but I haven't had much luck.

Welcome guitar guy...
Definately make it to OCCD's shop... You'll be salivating all over the place!
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Eprey will be the best venue for a proper replacement driver.
