Adam Howe? Yes.
Much stuff that might be of interest from free to lots (Jordan Eikona 2).
I have grabbed the pictures i took yesterday and will post as i process them. Step 1: post pictures, add comments, take questions, test if someone interested, if they work *they should) we can go from there.
There are a number of set sof 3 or 4 drivers. 4 makes for some more interesting designs and i do not want to brealk these sets apart.

Another Philips. The ceramic, 10” version of the well regarded 12” whizzer cone FR.
I have anothe rof these, treated somewhat Imaybe even EnABLed) in a funky box intended for live music amplification along with a rebuilt Stromberg Carlson PP amplifier. Still needs some development (a horn added to the FR to improve top, got lots of thise to choose from.
$100 USD for the pair of FRs, offers on the FR+tube amp.

This is the first pas son the (mostly) free stuff. More comments and pictures will follow as i answer yours and my own questions. Given that shipping is, in most cases the only cost, and with the initial shipping cost, adding weight and sixe only incremets the shipping a bit, so please pile on.
Lots of 10” woofers (more than in this pic), a set of 4 5” FR(?) in the left corne — that might be 5 & 6 next to themr, the ones with orange magnet boots are car speakers, they may have lost their tweeters, some singles.
Some 5” Philips in the right corner, 1 a pair i think. The aluminum cone drivers are a sheilded and unshielded version of the sae McM driver, the shileded one used in the Bottlehead that used 8 of these and this diy project: the toobs Mk 1. I’ll have to check to see what the alnico woofers are.
Philips midranges (also have a dead pair of the domes) and a set of 4” midBass.
2 brand new sets of Realistic/Foster horn tweeters, the samller the same as the free ones pictured below, and on the bottom self in the back left corner, the working BIC horns, a newer EPI inverted dome tweeter, waveguide loaded domes, and various other horns and a pair of small domes.
Advent woofer on the left, needs resurround, comes with a pair of PE resurround kits, $40 USD. A set if brand new Dayton 28mm domes and a well reviewed aluminum cone midbass ($30 USD for the set?). The J6T boxes have a lovely set of 3” Coral alnico tweeters (yellow cone, very nice, System 7?).
Bad pic sorry. The Mark Audio/CSS EL166 6.5” woofers, and ERT26 tweeters. This is teh Mark Start kit less the XO. Asking the Price of the woofers ($60 USD) for the set. (a better picture follows). There is a pair of (tested only) 3” TB (sub)woofers (offers, ‘ll have to find the model #). Single 5x7 FR. I think there is a pair of 5x7 FRs around as well.
Ignore the soldering iron and the sewing machine. A bunch of the Foster bullet horn used by any including the Zenith Allegros. Some bic horns (some work), a set of waveguide loaded domes, 3 small midranges, and one of the Clestion HF1300 (at least a pair of the big magnet ones with burnt coils, perhaps a set of the smaller magnet ones working domes (a donation for those if they exist, the possibility exist sof lifting the working domes out and into the nonfunctioning motor unit).
Netter image of the MarkStart drivers, a Silver Iris woofer (new), and a better pic of the Advent woofer. Have to check what is in the box. There are a few that did not show up in the pictures, most notably a set of 3 Realistic 5” FR with a decidely Italian oval whizzer.

I might be interested in those. Can you please share more pics/specs/partnumber/etc?
I have a pair of Tesla alnico wideranges in need of HF support, so I'm looking for matching alnico tweeters (preferably 8 Ohm and 92+ dB).
I had a nmber of these thru here and was impressed enuff that i kept a pair to play with. Never got the chance. They are light and can go small packet so shipping shoudn’t be too painful.
These are the kind of tweeter Steve loves, but he just got CHN-50s to play with.

I would be interested in the mark audio woofers and tweeters. Any other mark audio kicking around?
Do you have any kits left (cheap not important)?

I would be stoked to get several sets. I would definitely take the enabled (all or one pair each), the a11ms, the a7ms, the a7.3...basically I would be happy to stock up, I've got space and wood and pent up energy. Happy to pay for your time and effort and whatever the cost of the drivers.
Shall I pm you or email?

That is why some of them are free.
Maeshowe, veneered. No drivers. Can’t find the supraBaffles (or haven’t yet), so you would have to fabricate one. A7/7.3/7ms/P7/EL70, even the FE126 (a bit of a stretch) and the FF125wk.
Aiko, plywood, with FE108eSigmaEN.
2 subwoofer projects — one an 8’ 8” PVC baby EL-Pipo (3 drivers), the other a Push-push Push-pull cylindrical isobaric with 8 12” Foster bass drivers.
The bass drivers are really nice. I give the latter away because i really want to know how well it works so an assurance that it will be completed is required ;^)
I have 9 more of the same drivers, $80 CAD.
3 of the others are small, smaller, and almost tiny. A dMar-KenR (w grills) with CHP-70.2eN (and one of the 3 sets of ERT26eN, to add the missing top back. mFonken (w grills) with solid surface top. A set of uFonkenPlus with well matched semi-modified drivers (all the stuff i do before EnABL to tame the worst of their ringing issues, a chance to choose the driver colour. Bare plywood. Flat-pak plus price ($140 USD) plus drivers (stock/demos officially so some discount).
