I was just joshing, I'm not quite
that stupid.
Actually my father's boss bought these from a "white van" and ended up giving them to my father months ago since he just never used him. I hooked them up to an old Sony stereo receiver we have and one just moans and crackles and the other is dead.
I pulled them out of a closet while cleaning today, probably throw them away.
Thanks for the words though, it's amazing how many people fall for this scam!
