mysterious Speaker...

Please help me to identify this speaker and places to get repaired. I believe the speaker is from B&O .

Thanks.

Why do they need repair?

I don't think a B&O would have a Japan made driver

They came with the tweeter which are B&O tweeters.

it would be helpful if you could show more of the speakers.

Tweeter is a Philips Mylar dome.

Was a great sound in the 70's.

The Lafayette branded drivers from Japan were sourced from various Japanese OEM suppliers and could be from Foster/Fostex or Coral. Such a driver would never be found in a B&O branded system and the Phillips dome tweeters were widely used by many speaker companies in the 1970's and 80's including B&O.

That little woofer may not be repairable or the cost may be prohibitive, but good luck.

Return structure is heavier than Foster/Fostex

Lafayette was an electronics chain similar to Radio Shack. They closed down in 1981. To my knowledge, no commercial speaker manufacturer ever used a Lafayette-branded driver in their speaker.

Identical(nearly) woofer to the 12HCW-1 used in the Minimus-1.

But, i don't think it's a Foster/Fostex.

Matsushita made a very similar woofer, same square frame with truncated corners.
