Tragedy strikes my signed SoundSplinter

[theCybe 5,000+ posts]

Alas.

Someone dropped an 8lb 1,000,000 candlepower spotlight on my poor SoundSplinter's cone.

I haven't seen it yet, but the conversation went something like this;

me: "Good news man! The amp is fine, just needed fuses. Rockin', huh?"

him: "Bad news man. Mike dropped something on The Speaker."

me: "I accept cash."

A moment of silence.

I'll still trade //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I haven't seen it, but I'm told (and this is weird) that it knocked the "covering" of the cone over a quarter inch.

I asked for more details, and the best explanation I got is that apparently, the powdercoating detached from the cone (in one piece?!) and slid over - which doesn't make any sense to me. I'd shit if the whole powdercoat came off and I had a raw aluminum diaphram.

Can't wait to see it.

i bet the cone came detached from the VC former\cone joint... and the surround ripped free in some spots.

like the aluminum cone just came right off.

i dont think they understand wtf they are talking about.

wanna ship it to me for $100?

x2, I think they're confused also.

Dunno yet; I'm thinkin' it's fixable. If not, he'll be paying for it.

I'm shopping for new equipment. Anybody got something they wanna unload?
