I've got a lot of big, small and medium speakers that have blown out over

pretty good bookshelf supports.

In the spirit of domestic harmony, I am cleaning out said attic (anyone
*really* refer to their old college texts or books they have read in the
past anymore?). So with all the books being "de-accessioned"
(librarian-speak for "thrown out") I am left with a lot of bowed knotty pine
planks and burned out speakers.

....

If'en the books don't get carried away, before throwing out entirely,
the local library has a "free" table for the purpose...I've had amazing
(to me) stuff disappear from there to at least delay the landfill deluge.

I've no input on the speaker repair per se altho I wonder how one
manages to blow "a lot" of them -- I've a set or AR-5 and 3a's from 50
yr ago and haven't ever "blown" one other than a car or tractor radio 5"
jobbie...
