I'll take a guess and say either KLH or CTS... Purely a guess.

1056 Gefco
I recall Gefco being a pretty good OEM and contract maker for a lot of companies, but have never heard of or seen much documentation of their drivers or parameters, probably due to the propriety of design choices by the end maker/user. I think there have been a couple of threads about a few of their drivers on AK.
1048 could be a date code, let's see, that would be the 1st day of the 4th week of a year ending in 8. '68 or perhaps '78? SVC might be a plant code. No idea where Gefco made their stuff. Leaving 8914 as (perhaps) the model number.

It actually looks like 9914 to me, and would make sense per the EIA standard of dating. 14th week of 1999.
I think you may be on to something with Gefco and the date codes. I couldn't find any info at all with any of the codes but what you guys have mentioned makes good sense. The numbers are 1048, 1056 and 9914. They are in a pair of Ohm C2's that I knew were obviously not original drivers but they sound excellent and very similar to my other C2's that are original. I think for fun I'll get around to running some TS parameters to see how they are matched up for the C2 cabinets. I am willing to bet they are not far off based on what I am hearing.
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
I knew I was probably screwing up that date code thing. Thanks bowtie. I don't know the production dates for the Ohm C2 but '99 sounds like it's in the ballpark for a replacement driver.
I'm getting Fisher here for 1056.

I saw that as well but I would be surprised if it were a Fisher driver, not that I am an expert about that but I just don't remember Fisher making anything of this level of quality, especially in 1999 which seems about right for this driver looking at it. That's why I started questioning what it could be.
I also wonder, but doubt, if this is the upgraded woofer that Ohm provides. I've never run across a unit with the upgraded woofers so have no reference to compare. I would also think they would have idenitfied it as an Ohm driver if that were the case.
