Before going to check them out is there anything to look for that might id them? Seller said they had no tags/labels/id on them.

I'd at least save them from the carpet they're sitting on. Did you see what it did to the bottom of the riser?

Looks like Foster horn tweeters. If there are (4) good ones that is ~$100-120 there.
I'd listen to them before stripping, they might just be decent in a 70s 'vette sort of way.

So I went out to check them out, my gosh what a dump, only time I've seen a garbage pile actually stacked against the house, not even dumping the garbage on the lawn! So I looked them over, one woofer is not matching, I didn't even bother testing them, the inside of the house was just so...icky! These cabinets definitely look professionally made. They have nothing on them to id them, they do have one tweeter on the back,looking like the same tweets as on the front. Loaded them up, they easily weigh 60+pounds. I didn't even unload them yet. I've attached a pic of one laying in the truck bed ( sorry its so dark). Any help id'ing these pups would be appreciated. Ed

Hey,
I don't know what they are either, and I would have grabbed them too. I've dealt with 2 such households that are similar in nature. I may have been lucky, the people themselves are really great humans to do business with. I keep in contact with them nearly weekly today. Hoarders can find some really great stuff and be willing to part with them for a very reasonable sum. I'll go anywhere and talk to anyone to find treasures.

Hey drbiggles, I got the sense these people were not about hoarding, it was more like the guy was trying to sell off anything of value in the house to get enough cash to make a score. When I asked him if he would help load the speakers I got a look of "wtf?" from him, he looked at his friend laying on the couch ( big screen TV on, volume off), looked back at me and offered to hold the door open for me! What a slacker! Takes all kinds I guess?
Let us know how they sound!
Of course if there are numbers on any of the drivers (baskets or cones) it may shed some light on who made them, but no guarantee.

Wow. Yeah. I made a 3 hour round trip to buy a 1960 Voice of Music tube powered speaker combo unit 2 years ago. Turns out the man and woman were meth heads. I was able to stick and move without issue. But, daaaaaaaaang.

Have to keep an eye peeled for used needles in joints like that.I once picked up a pair of EV interface D's that were totally abused tucked up into a storage room ubove a dirty meat store in DT Vancouver .Rooming house,the carpet moved like it was alive...When I got them home and removed the bases to refoam the down fireing woofers I found a long dirty human pony-tail stuffed up in there...wtf??

Hah... Brings up some excellent memories.
Tweakers in a trashed trailer at 11pm to grab some HPM-100s. A massive horde to find a Stephens 206AXA hiding in a smoke filled garage (the only room with space to sit). A treasure trove of first-hand filmed explicit movies and poloroids scattered everywhere to grab a Citation II...
Good times...

That's funny... Yeah, that's walking a fine line... In situations where you're headed to questionable homes/neighborhoods/people, maybe just let somebody know before you do.
"Alright, if I'm not back by 10PM, and you haven't heard from me, the address is... xx xxxx ave, xxxxxx... My cell number is...."
"Don't forget, the safe challenge answer is "ruby"."
Remember that house at the end of "Gone Baby Gone" with that older couple? Imagine picking up La Scalas at THAT place.

Me too, which I think is pretty funny. Despite all of that, I was still saying to myself, "Damn... He scored a Stephens 206."... Suddenly, I'd completely-forgotten all about the meth heads.
I'd brave a rough neighborhood for some SFB/3's or the omni-directional corner cabs..... Or E90's... Yeah, those too... Oh, and an 8B (And I'll need a preamp with that, so...)... And maybe alnico Super 12's.... Oh, and alnico Super 8's... You know, let's just forget it... I think I'll just bring someone with me.
Whoops... Maybe I should get Lojacked... Me, not the car, I mean.
