I picked up a pair of vintage Acousti-Craft speaker cabinets today for a song. Let's just say they cost me less than my roundtrip ferry ride from Seattle to Kingston. The cabinets are in beautiful shape, solid maple with really gorgeous grain. The only info the seller had besides the logo name was handwritten on the back in felt pen. He told me it said Jensen Duax and DX 120, both crossed out. At the top it says Stephens 80FR. Anyway, I got these back home and hooked them up - they sound really good. Nice detail, not window-rattling bass, but decent. I bought these for the cabinets, but was surprised how good they sounded.
I took the backs off to see the guts and found each has a Stephens 80FR full range speaker, 16 ohms, I believe and a Vanco tweeter. Found some info on the Stephens speaker, but nothing on the Vanco (it's made in Taiwan). Initially, I was thinking that these were mid-60s speakers, but may be older. Anyone have more info on the cabinets and speakers? Here are some pics.
