Selling Damaged Magicos

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I will take the woofers out and test them with a multimeter. I have one some place. It does seem to me that both of them going out due to being dropped or jarred is pretty unlikely, especially with no external damage.

jafant, I'm not sure what the damage is or how it occurred. All I know is neither woofer works and the tweeters work just fine.

Thanks Al. I'll give it a try.

I guess I know nothing about using the multimeter. I have a GDT-11 from GB Instruments that I've hardly ever used. I read the instructions online and set the dial to 200 ohms which is the lowest ohm setting. When I touched the binding posts with the probes, the read out stayed at 1.

The tester seems to be functioning correctly. When I touch the leads together, the reading fluctuates between -1 and <2. It stops at -1. When I touch the speaker terminals, it goes to 1 and stays there.

There is no change. It stays at 1.

If I were to list these for sale as is, what should I try to sell them for?

I put another battery in. The reading of 1 I thought I was getting is actually in the hundred place like 1 _ _._. I am getting various readings from 1.0 - 190.0+ when I touch the leads. When I touch the speaker terminals, it stays at 1_ _._. It kind of seems like there is not a connection and nothing is going through. I attempted taking out a woofer. The screws on the woofers take small allen wrenches. I put almost enough pressure on it to break the allen wrench and it didn't turn. This is when I get concerned about my DIY skills which have never been good. I sure don't want to damage anything worse than what it is. Someone could probably take these speakers and put a little effort and money in them and have a nice set of speakers at a low cost.

Thanks everyone. I'm in eastern KY.

Actually, my dealer is no longer a Magico dealer, so they told me to contact Magico. I went to their online contact form but haven't heard from them. I ended up selling the damaged speakers at a big discount.
