Anyone looking for Knowles Grand 13 x 18mm speakers?

[reinhardtjh]

As the subject line says.  There is someone in Great Britain (message on the Soundtraxx Groups IO list) selling 258 unused Knowles Grans 13 x 18mm speakers.  I could use some but not 258.  Anyone else? If they're still available I'd buy the batch and then divy them up with people who wanted them.  He wants 400£ plus shipping.  At the moment that's $546.50 plus shipping.  The shipping cost was not mentioned but he will ship air so I imagine it won't be cheap.  There are 3 trays of 80 speakers and one tray of 18. Not sure of the total dimension.

Costs work out to $2.12 each plus shipping costs.

I got word back from the seller, 23£ for shipping for a total of 423£ or $577.95. That makes each speaker $2.24 plus any shipping from me to you.

Not exactly an overwhelming response, John...
I’d be in for a dozen or so, but that doesn’t help much. I do love these speakers, they are my go-to when possible, and still have a small carefully guarded stash.
Good idea, good luck.

OK.  These are clearly the best of the 13x18mm cell-phone-type speakers I've used. 

So . . . I'm in for 50 if you find enough people to participate.  I use them in big N-scale tenders, but I've also used the 13x18mm size in HO-scale diesels I've been retro-fitting for friends.

Wow... Crickets for most of 24 hours then BOOM.  lol

I messaged the seller and I'll let you know if I got them or not.  Hope so.

Counting what I want, that means 229 are spoken for.  He put the loose 18 (that made up the 4th partial tray) on Ebay so I don't know if they are available.  I'm guessing 240 are what I"ll get from him so about 11 are left.  Depends on Otto's "about a dozen" since he posted first

Lol, John. looks like I started something here
I can go for up to 20 if need be, 15 optimum.
Rick B. is managing to squeeze these into some covered wagons for me, the IM FT’s being the latest project.
They do sound terrific given their size, with proper enclosure (and a good decoder, of course).
Do you PayPal?
Thanks, Otto

Otto, yep, I PayPal. It's preferred, actually.

Once I find out if I got the speakers and actually get them I'll be sending out notices to everyone and get the final count.  It's about 5AM where the seller is so I don't imagine I'll hear from him until morning.

[reinhardtjh]

So, bad news. I got an email back from the seller and a pro sound installer bought the whole batch from him yesterday.  Sorry guys.  In hindsight...   

[Cajonpassfan]

Well, dang, got all excited for nothing....
Thanks for trying, John.
