I might be able to get a bunch of Pd1850's blown drivers in need of recones...
What are working ones going for secondhand at present?
Also what is the best price for a recone kit anyone can offer best i've found is £165 plus postage...
It seems to me that this is making it a bit pointless to recone them... anyone have any thought on this why so much for a recone kit? surely that is pricing repairs beyond ecconomically feasable...It seems wrong to bin broken drivers that could be fixed.
Always a compromise, You can't have everything...

Where would you put it all.

If you payed £75-£80 for blown 1850s, you got royally shafted.

Talk to the right people, and you can get new 1850s for £280.

So £80 for blown driver, then £180 to get it reconed, makes no sense.

Most I've ever paid for blown 1850 is £60, and that was Black label 2007 onwards, not ancient white label, or older Mk1, that might even have rust/corrosion in the gap.

I meant RMJ "probably" offers cheapest price, for a good quality recone. LOL
Yes is not 100% PD recone kit,  but many of us happy with it.

Only other person I would consider is PauliePaul, who does use 100% PD kit, and also does top quality recone.
