For auction is one original ROLA 12 inch Alnico 8-ohm speaker. This came out of an Organ that was powered by 6L6 tubes. This speaker could be used in many small combo or practice amplifiers requiring a medium power 12 inch speaker, like a deluxe.

So the shipping cost below may not reflect actual US shipping cost. International shipping is likely extra and probably starts at about $46 US and goes up. and here is his Column.. Talkin’ Amps… Great Speakers, On the Cheap By David Jung Here is a list of speaker codes. This is a 285. which makes it an ROLA speaker: http://www.webervst.com/morecode.html This speaker can be used as a old stock replacement for the following vintage amplifiers Please see what Weber Speakers has stated here in terms of what amps came stock with an 12 inch driver and 16 ohm resistance http://www.webervst.com/codes.html So if you have one of these amps without this original speaker.. Here is your chance! PLEASE READ: the condition of these speakers and pictures are as described at time of auction. Remember.. these cones are nearly 50 years old! I pack extremely well. Please read my feedback. However, in a very small percentage of cases.. handling, vibration, and even installation by the buyer may result in small hairline cracks in the cone that can easily be repaired using the proper materials. I will not assume responsibility nor discount final sale based any damages that result once arriving at the buyer’s destination. They leave my house in the condition that they appear in thse pictures. These cones are fragile and I pack well, but accidents and tears happen more than they should. Having said that I will aways disclose any flaws to the speakers at point of auction. Canada shipping will have to be figured out by address. I ship both National and international packages at the end of any given week either Friday or Saturday mornings. So depending on when this auction ends, with give you an idea of how long it will be before I ship. Sorry for any inconvenience this may provide. This is a hobby for me. This will be well packed.. Play a piece of history with these speakers! One last addition. Sacramento is the home to one of the premier speaker restoration services in the continental US. I encourage you to speak to Ron Neal about any of your needs with speaker reconditioning. http://www.nealspeakerrepair.com/ He is an expert and has been doing speaker reconing services since 1955.
