Flea Market Finds - Help me ID?
I did a tour of the Goodwill, Sally-an, A1 Used furniture. Ended up buying some speakers hoping for a GEM. Can you see one?
- Radio Shack Omni-directional. $10 Part number turned up nothing (yet). Good shape, decent looking woofers. Might leave these alone. -Lloyds 6"ish whizzer cones with tweets. 2 different part numbers, appear to be identicle speakers. Boxes were functional I supose, but cheap looking. These drivers look to be in excellent condition. Maybe Planet10 can tell me about these. $1.49 -6"ish white drivers, appear to be a replacement. The tweeters are pioneers. Again boxes are crap (but well made) and the speakers were in good condition. $0.49 -12" Radio Shack woofers. Trashed. Huge boxes with some type of horn setup. I took these for free, just for curiosity. Here is a couple pictures, just to get started. I know I should supply better pics and part numbers, just let me know which ones peak your interest.

The Lloyd's FR is a gem. There were a number of different OEMs for these... the real gems have alnico magnets.
Can we see inside the RS? The light cone is so because of UB bleaching. dave

The number on the woofer is a coral. Tweeter probably is too...

And just for fun.
Somebody must have really liked these. Like I mentioned its some type of folded horn setup I think. Lots of damping material and asphalt inside, so I can't really tell just what the heck is going on. I think it wraps around 2 or 3 sides of the interior. The woofers need refoaming at the very least. |

I opened up the other Omni , just to see if there was any debris on the woofer.
To my surprize the other coral tweeter is an alnico, somebody replaced the other side. The woofer seems to be identical, maybe I should see if it is alnico. I can clearly hear a difference. |

2" tweeter? I've a pair labeled Monarch. Quite special.

Today was awesome, got some nice speakers.(I think)
AND ONE OF THE MOST COVETED BOOMBOXES EVER!(I know) Obviously the mid is alnico, not a 100% sure about the woofer. Interesting tweeter. The highlight should have been finding the Console with the tubes I wanted, however finding a ghetto worth $700-$1200 is pretty facking sweet.
