vintage Fisher Sound Panel stereo speakers Mid Century Modern, 1972

Are these ribbon speakers?

The Ad:


I have a really uncommon pair of 1972 Fisher Speakers with a classic, retro look. These could be hung on walls or placed on floor stands (I don't have stands, as they were hung by the woman I am selling these for). 50 Watts. Made in Argentina by Bertagni for Fisher. Very good over shape, obviously used but quite presentable. This is a really nice set-up. I could probably get more on feebay, but I don't want to bother with shipping & I prefer to deal locally. If it were junk, I'd just leave it at the curb.
Buy Local - Buy Used! Stick it to the corporations.
I may consider partial trades for old videogames such as Nintendo, Gameboy, Vectrex, Colecovision; or possibly old US coins or old/scrap/broken gold jewelry; but Cash is King, as I am selling these for a person without a computer.

Please keep in mind that I am located 30 miles north of Boston, before taking the time to email.

Thanks for looking; craigslist rules!

Similar to the Bertagni/BES speakers - styrofoam very shallow drivers driven by voice coils. Interesting concept that doesn't quite get there sonically, at least for me.

Cool looking in a psychedelic way though - would have fit great in Analog Addicts' basement back in college.

I know those grill cloths are cool as **** and I'd buy them just for that...

Yamaha also did a few funky flat trapezoidal styrofoam drivers with cast frames - I seem to remember the cabinets had open backs. Can't remember any model numbers offhand though.

Yeah, there was a thread on these not too long ago. I bought one (sadly, the thrift only had the one) and it's pretty cool to fool with. Here is the thread:

Very cool, I would buy them for vintage appeal too, if the price was right.
