While thinking of creative ways to get my next amp buid, I located the following 12" ribbed cone speaker. It came out of a 1981 GEM organ that I rescued from a dump trip. The organ is still going to the dump, just minus the speaker.:lol:
The white sticker on the magnet reads: 22-104, 4 ohm VC, 12J4-38, 465-8142
On the Paper cone I can read: PS4781A 140
I plugged it in to a 4 ohm guitar amp. Sitting on the bench it works.
I was thinking of another 5W single ended tweed amp. Some quick research shows that 465 meant Oxford. 1981 42nd week? Anyone tried one of these before? Any guesses on the magnet type? Ceramic, Ferrite, Alnico? Thanks,
Pics here. Good score? Bad score? It was free! :razz:
