Anyone seen these before??

I got given these and have no idea where they came from, what they are used for etc. I did take the backs off to see what was inside. Pictures below. Any thoughts appreciated.

Regards

That's a speaker. And an enclosure and some fiberglass.

You say "...these things...". Does that imply a pair? I just love the look of that era in cabinetry. Have you had a listen?

I remember those being sold as satellite speakers for consoles back in the early 70's in the "golden era" of department stores.

Sorry, can't remember the brand

Cheers!

Haha I know that. What I meant was does anyone know anything about them? Have you seen them before? If so do you know where they were made?? I havent listened yet though. The fullrange drivers look like they are in ok nick. All I need is a record to go with the other stuff they came with.....pics below.

what are the numbers on the back of the magnet? - probably a manufacturing code, you can often get the maker and date from these

You lucky bugger... alnico philips full-range. IIRC a couple different models 9710 springs to mind. I sold 3 pair of these for a friend's wife, fetched a couple hundred bucks a pair.

Box is likely diy.

There is at least 1 thread on these here.
