In case anyone is wondering, I have the idea of using them at shows since my Ushers are utterly immovable. I'll report on refurbishing them when I make a start.

Good lad! you'll have a very nice pair of speakers when they're done. Don't forget they are AR6 bass units (unless there were model variations), the surrounds are obtainable.

Well done Martin they are 'GS401C' btw. The desirable one are 'GS401A'

I've already researched it, thanks Geoff, although according to one site they were made 'in-house'. There's a company selling the re-foaming kits here and even the Celestion tweeters can be replaced with SEAS units if necessary. I shall rebuild the crossovers, too. I also have the necessary power to drive them

Thanks, Andr'e. I didn't buy them for resale value, just to be a very good 2nd pair of speakers for me. I thought the 'C' model were the chrome ones?

**Rare Bird** · 07-04-2013, 20:01

'A' are chrome sides

Heres another possible bargain in the making http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2512539294...84.m1423.l2649

Not world beating but a nice little amp nonetheless...

Ah ok, thanks. I do prefer the wooden cabs, to be honest.

**Rare Bird** · 07-04-2013, 20:04

I presume you've seen Mr. Tibbs thread about refurbishing 401's over on PFM ?
