About two years ago, the white van guys showed up at a local shopping
center. I was astonished that the setup, the guys, the vans, and the boxes
of speakers, fit the image exactly. The neighborhood was a little too
upscale for a scam like this. I do not know if the one guy who approached
them was a shill.

I spent half my life waiting for a glimpse of the Oscar Meyer Wiener truck,
but at least I saw the mythical White Van.

I wonder if White Van speakers have improved at all over the years?

And if you can't live without that I offer:

----------

Surplus to current needs at Go Dance studio:

(4) Linear Phase Model 8812 "Studio Monitor" Speakers

Inexpensive starter for home surround or small DJ system

$125.00 for two
$225.00 for all four

FOB Austin TX

----------

Eat yer ears out. Anyone who needs a reference for "sounds like shit"
wants these. Makes an NS10 sound like a Dunleavy in comparison.

Note that for a fine appearance you will have to reglue some of the
1/16" "carpet" covering.

Other than that these are perfect.

Hi Bob,

If you can ever make it to Madison, WI you should be able to track the
"Wienermobile". I haven't lived in Madison in a few years, but there
used to be one parked at the Oscar Meyer facility there most of the
time. And once in while you could see it around town.
