Are Rodgers as good as advertise??

Have a pair of Rodgers Ls3/5a, Picked them up at the thrift shop several years ago, they're a bit beat up, But the serial # are very low (SO2838A & SO2838B) Two Questions: 1)What is the term "White Belly"? 2)If i were to get a replacement cabinet Will it affect the value?

BTW White Belly was the name of the drivers they used with PVA coating!

I wonder of what material those Moldovian cabinets are built? Voidless birch plywood(.47" thickness), heavily braced at all joints, was a favorite of the BBC. Some plywoods were disallowed, because of the colorations they caused.

Can't say as I do. I'm in Indianapolis, IN. Try calling Weinhart Design(310-472-8880), in L.A. They may know of someone in your area.
