A super speaker deal

Re: A super speaker deal

Just wondering does the Pentagon buy stuff from Ebay? That could sure explain the cost of some toilet seats.
 
Re: A super speaker deal

Did you notice the cost of the "extra warranty". I wonder how many recones that covers?

As the saying goes: It's good money if you can get it.

Got to be more to it than that.
They didn't say "used by Elvis" or something of the like to flame the collectors.
Just don't get it.

Anything (audio related) that has "Western electric" on it is like gold these days-to the right person.

I can't say why-except that most have been tossed out and there are very few of them left. I can't say for sure-but I really don't think it is because of the quality of the sound.

It is a field coil speaker, super sought after. And the best sounding speaker I have ever heard was a field coil. Contemporary though.

I know a guy who tore out the sound systems from old schools and upgraded them.
Tossed a bunch of these field coil speakers in the trash. Oops.
