Is it an assumption or is it fact ?
I‘ve bought this two 15xb‘s last week .. new and intact from a german dealer.
‘02 18' in a brown fane original carton and the
‘16 51' in a ‘50 years sound‘ fane carton (only one in stock).
.. both inside packed in styropor with the same accessories (sealing stips/fane sticker).
The problem is ..
only the ‘02 18‘ has a totally insulated wire to the terminals and also a ‘double coated‘ cone edge-termination.
What next?
Can I buy a 16 years old ‘new‘ colossus 15xb (?) ... the last specimens of this species in stock ( eol / end of life ).
