Need to idenify a driver

woody · 11th April 2010, 04:00 PM

Saturday at the DIY Atlantia meet I picked a pair of old 8" alnicol full range drivers. The only markings I could find was a test 3 stamp and
the number 337386 on the back of the cone and darn if the cones don't
look new! Note in the picture the alnico mag. is welded at 3 places.
Anyone know anything about this driver? fs 70hz and qts .62

By the way a lot of door prizes were to be had complements of Solen,
Partsexpress and Madisound and I met a lot of nice guys.

Why worry about what they are unless you want to sell?
Just use 'em.

I can't tell you who made it. I have seen the basket & similar magnets. American i believe. The cone looks very Japanese thou... i wonder if you have a franken-speaker?

Thanks Ron and Dave I will just pop it onto my open baffel and see how it does
I have a feeling already it was worth the $6 I paid for them!

It is much better even in comparation with $60 (per piece) contemporary midrange drivers.
