Ah I'll now dig out my riser box because this is my first 286 with just one ISA and I also think it's made this way because the solder pads look to clean from factory instead of someone removing them for parts Also you can see there is battery leakage and I'll have to use vinegar though I'm …

This board has been in a box for a long while and besides the barrel battery leakage it has only one ISA installed though there is places for more so I tested for shorts before powering it up and it still posts but either this was a parts board or did they actually make them this way to use a riser …

I had a hunch that they are an attempt to capitalize on the look of these [1],but the Tannoy brand ones are more recent. I am no expert on speakers and amps, but I would guess that if the drivers are still good and if you can replace the caps in the crossover network, you might be better off …
