Any notions about what kind of University these are?

Interesting looking coax. Looks like the enclosure is generic. The outlines I guess are potential cutouts for a 3 way.

re: the enclosure, I think so. I've been looking around a little at hifilit.com, and found this. The proportions from the photo suggest, to me at least, that it's a 12". Maybe the 312?

Hi Watt,

Nice find on the University. I own several University drivers (mostly 6201's).
I think you are correct, I believe what you have pictured is a University 312. The University's are NICE sounding drivers especially when combined with a simple Tube Amp and some Classic Jazz! Enjoy.

Regards,
SixCats!

I think you and refud need to have a chat:

Got up bright and early this morning to go have a look at these, and the short version of the story is that they have some problems: tears in the cones (the worst about 1 1/2 inch running from the surround to the mid portion of one driver), cabinets separating at the seams. So I passed. A little disappointing, as I've been curious about something more like a single point source, since I tend to run time-aligned speakers. And I have a pair of Dynaco Mk IV clones that would have done nicely. O well, at least I learned something from researching them and your comments here. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that they were rough. The one I found last week is like brand new, but unfortunately there was only one. The cabinets look to be University Kwikits. What kind of money were they asking?

That also looks identical to the University UCX-123 speakers I have?
I've been running mine with a rebuilt Magnavox 8802 amplifier.

Yep, those were the ones.

refud, if you're interested in these, I'd be glad to pick up and ship. I do think you could probably find this driver elsewhere in better condition, but I thought I'd offer nonetheless. PM me if you want details.

Thanks Watt but I think I'll hold out for ones in better shape. I really only need one. Thanks much for offering though!
