I have the frame and magnet of this old 8 inch AlNiCo speaker that I got from I friend of mine. Its cone was destroyed so I cleaned it to rebuild it in the future.
However, I have a single one and I wanted to have a pair. And I'm trying to figure out what speaker it is to find a similar or equivalent one online.
Here are some pics:
As you can see its remarkably similar to Philips 9710, but it isn't a Philips 9710. There are some differences, as, for example, the fact it seemingly uses a brass demodulation ring (and in a different placement) and the "holes" in the frame are completely round, while 9710 had holes with flattened sides.
I remember the original cone (although damaged) it had a whizzer exactly like Philips 9710.
It has these numbers and codes behind: "KF 239" (with an indiscernible number ahead, but looks like a 10) and "326", none of which gave me any results.
This speaker was found inside one enclosure of a used stereo vinyl player, and I don't know if this is the original speaker. The speaker in the other enclosure was a different AlNiCO speaker.
It was bought in Brazil but I doubt this speaker was built here at all.
So, any ideas?
Do you think that If I bought an used Philips 9710 I could rebuild both to be reasonably matched drivers?
Thanks!
