I picked up some of those last year. Mine were the Model 81's. No specs that I can find. I was told a Jensen Horn tweeter. Not sure what the woofer is.

How do they sound? Are they worth a 50.00 investment?

I'd buy them just for the cabinets. Look at how much work went into them. If you don't like the sound of the current setup, you can always put better drivers in there. I had some nice vintage cabinets with rotten drivers. I changed the drivers out with newer technology drivers and now have the best of both worlds.

They actually sound much better than I would have thought. I am running them with a Kenwood KR-5150 which at 40wpc, seems about right. I redid the cabinets, which are all wood, and they do look beautiful. I will say, it took some time for them to sound good. But, it appears they were sitting for a long time, and considering they are from 1967, I guess that make sense. I would say they are worth that money

$150.00

in 1967 ? Should be something good I would think. VOM was known to ''over build''...

Looks look almost like Altec La Paz Commode end table speaker cabinets that go with the Flamenco series speakers. They came with 601 speakers in them. Want to sell em?
