the dusty cap has glue from epoxy along with the spider, few scratches here and there and a few scratches on the voice coil. i guess its d.7 how much would you all say its worth seeing the condition is a 6-7 but works perfectly?

well first off since you say the voice coil is scrathed idk if i would have bought it to begin with. if its a 6 of 10 cos, that things been through some ****.

voicecoils read perfect and it doesnt make any scratching sounds. its mainly because the person put epoxy on it and it makes it loook bad, cone/basket/motor arent beat up at all

i see but that could cause problems one the voice coil heats up. have you powered it up yet to know it works fine

You got screwed unless your going to recone it, I had a T2 15" that the spider came loose on and it was going full tilt it put one small scratch in the coil I re-glued the spider and it read fine but once I put full power to it the coil with the scratch shorted(had a small burn mark where the scratch was) and one coil went down!

Scratches on the voicecoil means the coil rubs or someone pushed on the cone unevenly. Until you put some power on it, its hard to tell it it will rub or not.

i would not have paid more then 150. just IMO....

225.00-250.00 for motor and basket. 350.00 mint. Sounds like you need a recone. I would say 225.00 tops for motor/basket.

Ive seen beat up 15s go for as low as 225 i think it was on here, id pay 250 for an 18 if it still worked good.
