NOS: 2" x 5" Foster 16 ohm, 10 watt, Alnico drivers?

[gearhound]

Bought a grab-bag of NOS speakers (mostly Alnico), from a audio repair shop that closed it's doors....cheap.
Some of the drivers are NOS Alnico Foster....mostly 3", 8 ohm tweeters.
However, 4 of the drivers are these strange looking 16 ohm, 10 watt, 2" x 5" Foster Alnico drivers.
Are they tweeters, or more likely mid/tweets??
Any information would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
THANKS!!

Pictures would make this easier.

If they have open back frames, they're more than likely full-range drivers like you'd find in TV sets and radios. Probably a fairly high Q for those applications too.

are these the horns, or are they oval cone drivers ?

I had a set of the little horns and they sounded good; not *quite* as good as Jensen RP103's, but still very nice . . .

Open-back, oval cone drivers.

It sounds like a small speaker for a consumer electronics device like a TV, clock radio, etc.

Celt gets it.
