That’s awesome! I’m REALLY intrigued with Dynaco speakers etc at the moment. Do you have a pic of your A10’s?

And they really punch above their weight for a small speaker as far as bass goes.
I'm curious what the rest are. Even if they're not particularly great the Dynacos for $100 is a good deal and you'll pretty much be able to make a profit on them if they're not keepers for you.

Nothing special other than the Dynacos. Pair of pioneer tower speakers, Sony tower speakers, and a pair of infinity rs3, which are actually pretty good.

Got a picture of the back? As far as dimensions the A-25 is fairly compact it’s definitely shorter than the KLH 6. The dimensions are 11½” H by 9¾ W” by 10" D.

This link has info on the Dynaco speakers, including the dimensions of the various models. Measure your speakers and look up the dimensions in the table.

I saved a copy of the original page and put with my Dynaco info for future reference.

Waiting for Vintage Gear from this century
Glad you got this deal. Hope you can make it all work out.
Wish my A25s came with the emblems.
Do check the tweeter and clean the switch while in the cabinet. You will need to determine which tweeter, SEAS or ScanSpeak. You want matched A25s.

No, I can locate mine right now. I believe I still have one but it’s in my storage closet somewhere and it’s hard to get to right now with everyone sleeping. I really started getting into vintage speakers about 8 months ago and have been fairly lucky with my finds. No difficult repairs needed (caps, etc). Tomorrow I’m gonna locate my MM and test the tweet out...so if the tweeter is working fine, it’s either bad caps or corrosion on the tweeter switch? I suppose I’ll need to remove the woofer to see the switch inside..the little plastic knob for the tweeter level (on the back of the speaker with the bad tweeter) actually came off too...ugh, love my vintage audio gear hobby but soooo wet behind the ears when comes to repairs.
That knob should have a smal set screw for tightening it.
Test tweeter on ohmeter setting. If its good, then check internal wiring and clean the switch. If still no output, replace cap in tweeter circuit.
If its the switch, you might be able to clean it ny simply working it back and forth a dozen times or so. If not, spray with deoxit or contact cleaner and do th same thing.
Have you removed grilles yet, or measured the boxes, to see which model they are?
I bought a set of replica emblems on eBay for mine. They look great and were under $15.
