Vintage full range(ish) mono speakers

waam68 · 31st December 2007, 05:29 PM

Hi
I picked these up today to save them from being dumped. Look like two 1950's/60's mono cabinets. The older has a single 12" Grampian reproducers driver & the other a 12" Fane driver, a bakelite crossover with some kind of adjuster pot & a hole for a tweeter which has been removed. Both cabs have a slot for a reflex port & both are well made (homemade?) & are lined with what looks like wool & down. The foam on the Fane driver is shot. I am refurbing an old valve mono amp & will use one of these at least with that amp. Has anyone seen this type of cab before or got any info? Thay are a bit big (GF not happy!) but were too nice to see dumped! I can never get this forum to take my pics so here is a link to some photos

Mike, for some reason I can't get access to the pictures. Could you check it out for me?

Looks like you have to register - but that's a bonus:
I wasn't aware of that forum before - but I've registered now, and there's alot of great stuff there!

Sorry Guys...I didn't realize you had to register on the Vinatge radio site to view the pics I'd posted

There is some good stuff on there re test equipment etc...
I'd upload direct on here but for some reason DIY audio won't pick up the photo's!
