Acoustics III speakers from MI... who knows them?

Also in Michigan here and I dug up a set of these at some sale years ago. Never did find any info on them but gave em away. Seems they were pretty popular.
 
IIRC I just called them and told them what I had. They sent the correct ones. Also ordered the caps from them.

They used to always put free candy in the package!:cool:



BTW those speakers followed him to Houston where he works now.

I'm getting ready to refoam the woofers on a pair of speakers for my buddy. As the label states, they are obviously Acoustics III. The drivers all appear to be CTS, there's a circuit breaker on the back, a 5uf cap on the mid and a 2.2uf cap on the tweet, some thick wooly sponge-like stuffing glued to the back panel, semi-hard foam grill material. Nothing special there, but there were a lot of very nice-sounding, reasonably priced speakers from that era that used CTS drivers, Avid and HHScott come to mind.

I haven't been able to find any info on this speaker. All my buddy remembers is that he bought them in the early 70s from one of the chain electronics stores in MI... ABC Warehouse, Highland Appliance, Fretter's... along with a Marantz 2225 receiver and a TT for $400. Allegedly there is a larger model... he remembers his brother buying some just to have something bigger than his.

Surely there are AKers from MI who remember this brand and hopefully know a little about them.

Just bought a pair of these for 30 bucks from the same guy who sold me the Altecs. I thought they sounded good and don't look like they are need of any repairs.
 
If they've already been refoamed, that's a steal.:music:

Bringing up this thread reminds me that I need to ask my friend if his son still has them. I know he moved back to Michigan after the hurricane flooded Houston a few years ago. Or maybe I don't want to know?:idea:

Well I have pictures on my phone of them. I had to put them in storage. Problem is I can't send the pictures to my email.... yet?
