that looks similar(but not the same) to model 12's i had many moons ago, pretty decent for what they were, maybe considered "lightweight" by some of today's standards.
My guess is model 10, pair of 10's, compression driver and a piezo.

I could certainly see that. From my experience with this stuff, that's about the best guess I would come up with, as well...

From what I can gather, they're "Model 10", with two 16 ohm Sunn-built 12" speakers, a compression driver & a piezo in each. Bi-ampable.
We'll see...I'll let you know. They're a long way up in the air, but I have friends with cherry-pickers.

Took some better pics of them yesterday. I'd guess they're ~20' up, on welded steel brackets.
I also found some old Peavey Commercial Series speakers (look like '70s SP2s, but with a 15" and a 12" in the flare) and some ~1990s EVs (looked like 18" 3-way keyboard speakers) tucked away in various other lofty parts of this venue. I'll put the word in to see if I can salvage these orphans, but I'm not sure how far I'll get or how much I'm willing to risk life & limb to recover them. Also not sure what shape any of the drivers would be in at this point in their lives...
Thanks for the help with the IDs!

I'm still debating how hard to press to get these...I don't need them, don't have space for them, and only really expect the EVs to be useful to me. I do know a few local bands/musicians/charity groups that could use them, so I might take them if offered. I do hate to see them left for the demo crew, though.
We'll see.

If you're just looking for a combination of brawn and stupidity, count on my help! :thmbsp:

Excellent! How do we hook up a BMW drive shaft to run some pullies & lift these suckers off their shelves?

Those sure look like Altec drivers from the front, in those "Peavey's". Quotes around Peavey as i have my doubts about those being Peavey built boxes. Can anyone verify that those are production Peavey cabinets?
EDIT: a good friend advises me that those are legit Peavey cabinets, very early 1970's, and further advises that they could have been originally loaded with JBL, Altec, or the more commonly found CTS, Oxford, etc stamped frame drivers as Peavey sourced drivers from them all at times during the early days.

Good to know, thanks. Any model # info on the cabs?
From what I can tell, the venue opened in '68-'69.

I would definitely be going after that stuff if:
a) there was space to store it
b) a use
c) you could pass it on to someone that could use it

You're welcome.:yes:
I believe "CSP" is the model. It seems those were made at a time when Hartley outsourced everything from other speaker manufacturers.
There's some interesting reading here: http://www.peavey.com/monitor/pvpapers/index.cfm
This was the first time i had heard of the "Spider Works", and the EV connection.
Seems he and Bob Gault had some connection also, no wonder the similarities between the 22A and PSD drivers.

a) maybe, in a storage unit of other large PA gear I'm trying to sell
b) maybe once or twice a year, and then only the EVs
c) probably
...but...
d) I'm not too inclined to risk life & limb to get 'em, so...if they're free & easy, I'll grab 'em.
