I'm hoping that a pair of ESL 57's might be on somebodies mind to offer a new home to.
Mine are fully OTA Refurbished in 2013/14, they have OTEC Treble Panels, IEC Mains Sockets and the Modern Banana Plugs.
I am nearing the time to get a Long Time Ambition of Stacked 57's up and running.
If you are considering letting a pair go of a similar spec to mine, please PM me, to see if a arrangement can be made.

Hello Al
We are similar us Dagenites, I was born in Aldborough Road, lived in Victoria Road, before I moved to Cambs.
I have three Pairs, a OTA, a good sounding original, and a unloved pair of originals.
I will experiment with the OTA and Original as a stacked array, whilst I'm being extremely patient in seeking a close matching OTA. Who knows a super tweeter or Dipole tweeter might just finish the search, when combined with my two sets.

Self Promoting my Thread again "Sorry".:lol:
I was the thickness of a Rizla away from getting my Wanted Request .
A excellent pair came up, but I am anal about getting the OTEC Treble Panel.
The OTEC is slightly brighter in it presentation when compared to the Refurbished Original, and requires a little bit of sibilance taming.
Onwards and Upwards, I know AoS will deliver.

Thank you for your support.
These look suitable.
I also have another pair I am investigating, just waiting for the owner to return from a break.
As I've already committed subject to my investigation.
I will hold off on any questions to the Pinkfish vendor, as I don't want to waste his time.

Dont think you will find a set of panels usd as not many people strip down 57's for spares

I have two standard pairs, and was impressed by a couple of OTA Original Panel refurbs recently investigated.
I,m holding out for the OTEC Treble Panel. They are harder to discover as a used sale.
