Sunn (?) PA cabs

[Fred Sanford]

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.

Excellent, thanks!

Glad to see I'm not the only one that thought those looked like Altec drivers in the Peavey cabs..

If it was me John, I'd be all over the Peavey and EV speakers, but I have to agree, unless you know someone with a good lift, I don't know that I'd wanna risk body parts for the SUNN speakers... Now if they would have been older Coliseum speakers, then all the JBL drivers would have been worth the effrot..

I'd have to call in a favor for the lift (to get the Sunns), but the tougher part might be getting the lift into the venue. Then I'd have to figger out a way to safely get the EVs out (one has fallen part-way between its old stand and a flimsy "wall" in a nearly-impossible-to-access area). One of the Peaveys is fairly accessible, the other is not. At all.

Oh, by the way, most of the rigging & catwalks & ladders in this venue have been condemned, and I've personally confirmed that they're unsafe.

It's a good possibility, but we can't be 100% sure without seeing them from behind. Remember, CTS made some woofers that are perfect "look alikes" from the front, they're good woofers too, but they're not quite on par with genuine Altecs.

I got in touch with one person that has these speakers, and the drivers are EV horn drivers (well-loved for talkbox use) and CTS 12" and 15" drivers. Look the same as these from the pics.

Should then be: EV 1823 / 1824 (+m suffix perhaps) ?
