I have 4 NHT1259 drivers for sale. I purchased these from Madisound back over 25 years ago, for an isobarik subwoofer project. They were (and still are) highly regarded drivers. They have about 100 hours of use, as they have been in storage for the past 20 years. I no longer have the space to store them.
They weigh over 4 Kg each, so shipping costs will be significant, so a local pickup (south-west France) would be ideal.
I will consider any reasonable offer.
note: photos only show 2, however the other two are in identical condition.

I'd make you an offer but I'm near Vancouver, Canada. If you're willing to consider packing & shipping...?
I am afraid that shipping costs would be too high. I could certainly package them properly for international shipping, but the package would weigh approx 22 Kg. I could check with either DHL or UPS for prices, if you are serious.
Might be cheaper with a parcel service like reship, jetcarrier etc. Or 4 separate packages depending on dimensions/wieght limits 🙃
22kg is gonna cost a lot to ship from France the the west coast of Canada. Someone in Europe should grab these. Specs are ideal for closed box. Assuming age has been kind.
I dont know the specific French /Canadian freight companies, but the close relations should be okay.
I have a shipment of 4x woofers underway from the US to Norway, 4 boxes of 5,45kgs each. Repacking, shipping, filing the tax papers and delivery to my door is 27$ for each one.
Takes a while to arrive. The VAt is unavoidable 25% on import, no matter which one i use so i dont count it for this. 110$ for 21,8 kgs, 55.01 dm3 (41-41-33 cm).
That is 10$more then the shipping inside the US from Florida to Newark cost me, without filing VAT /import paperwor, packing and reshipping..
So not really bad.

I checked with several local shippers. The best price for shipping to the west coast of Canada was approximately 40 e for a single driver. I assume that shipping costs to the US will be similar.
The drivers are in really good condition, they do not show any visible degradation due to their age. I really do not have the space to keep them in storage any longer, so i am hoping that someone will find a use for them.

Always regretted not buying these the first time around. Not sure I have a project for them. The only thing id likely build would be ripples and I can think of other drivers to use.
Someone should definitely buy these.

I would buy a few if not for the shipping. Those are absolutely fantastic woofers in a sealed enclosure. I still have one in a sub I built quite a while ago.
