Another score at the thrift store

Ooh ahh, lookie what they used for damping.

Midwoofer is made in america. I may have one with the same basket (which probably means the same OEM)

Nowadays, i'd consider that damping as good a score as the rest. Nice thick low density wool/cotton felt,

I bought a pair of very good condition OHM speakers in San Antonio for $200. Nice cabinets. Not the F model, one of the thinner tower jobs. Cannot recall the model, but there were still drivers and trade-ins for it as of 2 years ago. They are still sitting in my friends garage waiting to be used.

dumpster diving.. Dell 1710n Laser

Isn't amazing what people will throw out!!....They assume if it doesn't look like "Todays" driver ..(Ugly cast frames, big,weird looking cone)..it isn't worth anything!
Just look at the ol' Acoustic research A2X? drivers..."they" would think it was physically broken...how about an Advent 'fried egg' tweeter??

It truly is amazing.... why, just yesterday, I was tossing our latest day's office trash, and stumbled upon one of these in the dumpster

appears to be brand new...
... had all of 56 pages printed on it, was loaded with paper, and fired right up...

a $300 laser printer for the effort... may have been a complete computer system in there as well, but the truck was coming and I didn't have time to dig...

Sorry for the OT, but one wonders what they replaced it with???

Cal, looks like the mid-woofers are probably Rola.

From before i was getting TSP. Fs looks to be in the 40 Hz range, and about 88-89 dB efficient.

Cal, looks like the mid-woofers are probably Rola.

I'll confirm that.

Another reason why they sound like Celestion's in a geetah cab


Cal, get yer sock outta there, you'll rot the cone!


Cheers!

Q&D FR curve
low bumps are the room, hogher bumps are probably the small baffle I had the driver on, but feel the extension...
