Just feel like ranting a little.
Over the years I've watched 8-3/4's go from $300 for a complete unit that you could bolt in your car and drive, to $500, to $800, and finally to people asking $1000 for a complete rear. And not a rebuilt one, just a complete one.
I realize they are not making any more of these, but what the heck, they aren't made of gold !
Ok, rant off.
