Anybody know what these are?

[dobyman]

I got these at a rummage sale for $1 each. Any idea what they are. No names or numbers anywhere? They dont sound too bad. Ill probably donate them to a neighbor for his garage.

I'm totally guessing here, but I'll go with Utah.

I'm getting a GE vibe. The grille cloth, cabinet style and stain was very common to them. Bet they are CTS drivers too.

Cabs,grills look a lot like some Magnavoxs I have...

 

[dobyman]

Those are all similar to what I was thinking. Probably part of a lower end combo system from the 70's. Oh well, the neighbor will be happy. Thanks all!:thmbsp:

Them's speakers.

Organ speakers? Long shot.

Open'er up and check out the guts ??

:lmao::lmao::lmao:
I actually did pull a woofer out, but still no name. Not a very big magnet either.

I am thinking CTS drivers, too (look for a "137" stamped somewhere on the drivers' baskets). The speaker systems could be absolutely anything, but the cabinetry and cosmetics make me think of some of the 1960s HH Scott speakers. What does the back panel (connection terminal panel) look like?

They look tube-friendly. Could probably sound very nice with some Magnavox or Dynaco amps.

My first thoughts as well. The cabs do look very similar to a pair of Utah's I have.

I think the "...Marine Manufacturing Company" probably refers to the plywood that was used: marine plywood!

Interesting that the tweeters are Japanese. I would have expected a US brand, from the appearances. I've seen plenty of similar VINTAGE speakers without clear IDs, and just shrug them off as relics from the days when a lot of audio hobbyists were building their own tuners and amplifiers... and speakers. Check out old issues of magazines like Popular Mechanic, and you'll find plans for things like these. Sometimes they sound quite good. Other times they don't. Let your ears decide.

The guy said his neighbor built these years ago. I assume he meant installed the drivers, not the cabs themselves.
