Hi everyone!
I'm about to buy a pair of 2235H, which the seller say, are about 6 - 7 year old, in mint condition and only sparingly used, after the first year or so and then have been laying in storage the last couple of years.
What kind of serial numbers should be expected, if this is true?
Anyone who could give me a rough estimate and perhaps also tell me what year they were first manufactured?

Watch the suspension/spider for sag depending on how they were stored.

right,
I bought a pair a few years ago and they had to be reconed. At first they looked ok, but when I connected them and fed them some signal the foam edge had gone in 5 minutes
look out for the sag, if they were stored on their fronts or back, the spider won't be flat / level anymore because the weight of the cone, this would make them a definate recone I'd say because the coil won't be centered [before / aft] in the magnetic field anymore
they should have been stored upright, the way they are normally mounted
The only way to try them is listening if you can't see any damage. If anything goes after playing hard, well they are no good and need repair. I do turn mine around once in a while on my 4435's. I had my speakers often stored away for years when I was still working around the globe. Many did well after years of non proper storage. Do not panik, just try... Every 2235 is worth repairing.
I should have sad 2234. 2235 without the mass ring of course.
