    I'm Adrian.

    Default Rogers LS3/5a

    A pair of these has fallen into my hands but they are in a sorry state. All drivers are dead (coils scraping) and the original binding posts have been changed for spring loaded so destroying a portion of the rear enclosure. The enclosures would be okay with some polishing. The 15ohm crossover measures okay.

    I'm aware I can get replacement KEF drivers but I'm wondering if it is worth doing. I wouldn't need them and would be looking to sell them. They go for stupid prices on the net.

    I'd be inclined to sell them as they are, on eBay.
    Someone will buy them...

    That was my thought too.

    Or just offer them on here. AOS has a good few LS3/5a fans.

    I hadn't thought about selling them as they are - hence no price or fotos. I was interested whether folks thought it worthwhile fixing them up for sale or binning them.

    Dont bin them. I think you'd generate some interest if we could see what you have to offer. I'm interested.

    I definitely think a few photos would be good.

    Even with dead drive units. Being Rogers examples, these will be of interest to somebody. There's not much in the way of cabinet repair or restoration that someone handy can't achieve. The genuine crossovers will be wanted too.
