With that in mind, you can find some nice after market "Blueberry" inserts for around $35..... Mine was a little too large, so I sanded off the paint around the outside edge before it would snap into the bezel. Looks OK, but not $10K (final selling price) worth of pleasure....even after I "bleached" it for 7 minutes...

Mmmmmm, the red triangle insert. The ones for the 5512s are just nuts. A SCG 5512 with Red Triangle insert is the ultimate sub, IMHO.

Hey Guys:
I came across this photo/collection over on VRF the other day.... If they are indeed genuine, it would seem as though one person could completely destroy the value of all blueberry inserts with a giant "fire sale".... Unreal....

That could be done, John. I saw that happen in the militaria collecting world when the Wosk sisters started liquidating the WWII time capsule that was the Harry S. Wosk Army-Navy Store in San Diego. Vintage military insignia that had previously sold for $400-500 was now on the market for less than $100. That was over 10 years ago and prices haven't risen and the girls are still selling on eBay.

Are those Morgan King's? Pretty sure he could do the same shot with PN Daytonas.
