Wasn't really aware that NASA issued any speakers; optional equipment on the Apollo 11?

no kidding..

I know I have seen some McIntosh amps for auction as military surplus, but I never knew the government to "issue" gear..

Solid or liquid fueled?

Maybe one of the many small makers...nothing to prevent them from using the name NASA since it can't be trademarked by the gummint. A friend of mine had some AMASA's once, turned out to be from Amasa, MI. Any towns named Nasa in the US?

Or, maybe they had a NASA inventory tag on em.

"heavy, solid and LOUD" describes every POS speaker I've ever heard....

Those look like vintage ARs to me. AR3?

I have to wonder is NASA knows they're gone. Hmmm!

Look like AR 3s or 5s, but with oddball tweeters. Putting a speaker that heavy into orbit would take a lot of fuel.
But odd advertisement aside, its a good price for a desirable speaker.

The water damage is no doubt from a leak after command module splashdown.

I will chime in to say they do look like AR3, and if they're fully working, thats a steal.

No wonder they needed the Saturn IV rocket to get them off the ground. All that stereo equipment had to overcome gravity too, though I doubt vinyl playback was possible.
