The 879A cabinets were 25.625 x 20.5 x 17 inches. I suspect that might be the external dimensions.

That's too small for best bass, but it keeps the excursion under control. Even so, it's limited to about 25 watts. That's plenty loud, though. You don't want to use more than 50 watts, the voice coils are too fragile (underhung design).

Probably made with 3/4 inch plywood. Thanls!
