lionel_atlanta is the seller ID for AA on Ebay, so if you are interested in something that is listed by this seller be sure to do your homework and ask for additional close-up pictures. Check out this speaker pod they currently have listed and be sure to zoom in on the picture and check out the crossbars. Read the small print that says there are no threaded inserts on the inside to connect the speakers to. Says 1 has been sold, I feel sorry for the poor sap, classic AA!

"Finally a reasonably priced speaker grill enclosure to replace that beat broken tined one of yours! An exact replica of the original part ..."

George tried to defend the poor quality on his website, i mean 914club
http://www.914club.com/bbs2/index.php?show...ker+grill\

I'm sure his pics are very low quality to prevent you from seeing what you are really purchasing.

My take on this item is it was 1st attempt on making these and they turned out like sh*t so instead of tossing them in the garbage he is selling on Ebay to unsuspecting victims. How can anyone defend this place?

I'm not defending AA although I have bought a few parts from them without any problems, but they are not my go-to parts. What I don't understand is the bashing mostly by folks who probably have not had any interaction with George or AA... seems like a bunch of jumping on the bandwagon.

Here's a thought, if you don't like AA or some of the things that George has been accused of in the past.... then don't buy parts from him.

BTW- the pictures were not blurry on my screen. Not a product I would buy but if you need them they would likely be better than nothing... again, buyer beware just like everything else in life. JMFO

I have dealt with George extensively over the years. Try setting up a group buy if you want to get to know the man.

I have no particular issues with George, but some of the used parts his employees peddle on eBay are absolute junk, and not worth the prices asked.

He is probably too busy to keep an eye on every aspect of the business, specifically those eBay listings.

This is almost comical, where does it say these are reproduction? Rare opportunity only 30 sets at this price!

Why take the time to take pictures of this part. What would you possibly do with it?

The rusted speaker terminals keep the 914 theme going. What a pos.....OH! I get it! AA runs an ad with a brief description of the actual part for sale, then write a short story (another ad) detailing how AA is selling off the bone yard. 2fer deal. Clever.

Some day, many decades from now, we will wish we had bought those nice speaker housings for our 914's.

Can someone verify that George is still involved with AA? He can't be! With all the POS parts listed on Ebay with their fictional stories it would be too embarrassing for him right?

$48 for 2 non OEM ones

Unless you HAVE TO HAVE original, buy 914 rubber's version. They are new, take a larger speaker, they are cut to fit any speaker, they fit the car perfectly and you can use the speaker's grill and not worry about kicking the tines out of the OEM version. Plus they are on sale 2 for $48.

I have never had a lick of "major" trouble with AA or it's owner. I even get a 10% discount, if I remind him. Hell, the guy even answers the phone sometimes.

I am sure there has been some bad blood spilled with some who have been involved much longer than me.... I mean this forum started cause of one, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Thank you for that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I do like to read all the slaps and digs tho.

You clearly don't know the asshole do you, he has been lying like this for decades, all well documented.

Anyone else remember when he did a "rip-off" of Groit's Garage, full of stories how his father raised him and his "brother" to appreciate the finer things in life, ect, course, for that catalog, he had a different last name, and his "brother" was someone who worked for AA, no blood relations at all, just more flat out lies, and who can forget when the Lying POS "Found" a stash of 916 seats in the basement of PCNA, of course, Porsche never had 916 seats, just another fairly tail that georgie made up. With all the people he has screwed over, over the years, I don't see how he is still walking.
