Eggmeister Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 Any chance of a better picture of the numbers on the rear ?

Eggmeister Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 (edited) Can't see numbers under the red terminal.. Edited October 1, 2024 by Eggmeister
Eggmeister Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 (edited) Kind of looks like this https://www.musicswopshop.com.au/products/msp-12pq https://vero-p2p.blogspot.com/2024/04/msp-vintage-alnico-speakers.html Edited October 1, 2024 by Eggmeister
Grizzly Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 Kinda looks a bit diy to me, insofar as the central tweeter goes anyway
Hawkeye Posted October 1, 2024 Author Posted October 1, 2024 Thanks for the responses and the example you put up Eggmeister looked remarkably similar. It peeked my interest while looking for vintage drivers with view to diy an open baffle project. My sudden curiosity about the OB’s came about from listening to a diy OB setup built by the person who purchased my Altec horns. From memory the mid bass was vintage Grundig , a ribbon tweeter and a 4” mid I can’t recall. Sub duties was from a small proprietary brand. The sound was incredible probably the most “realistic “ for want of a better description that I have heard. His total outlay was minimal for the sound it produced. I asked, but he is not a member here and he definitely knew what he was doing. I’m sure he had something in mind for the ALTEC horns. Still researching and hoping to hear more OB’s at the upcoming hifi show. 2
MarcAL Posted October 6, 2024 Posted October 6, 2024 (edited) This is an Alnico two way driver however if it complies with an EIA code of 20941 it doesn't make total sense. It definitely does look like an MSP vintage speaker. It could be original as the tweeter used looks like it came from the same era. The two speaker terminals look a bit modern for this speaker so it may be DIY after all. Edited October 6, 2024 by MarcAL 1
