Capehart speakers

[Travis]

I have had parts of an old Capehart record changer for years with the intention of restoring.

It has two amps, a pair of 5" speakers and one big 12" speaker. The small speakers look like the ones in some Scott radios. The 12" speaker looks like a Jensen, but it's labled as Capehart.

The only testing I did was to measure the coils which were good.

Anyone got advice on what these are?

Capehart made high quality phono/radio consoles - Henry Kloss himself spoke of how nice they sounded and they were an early influence on him in the
1940's , peaking his interest in high fidelity when a young lad of about 18.

Don't know who made the drivers, but are likely of very good quality.

Yep these old field coil Capehart speakers are going for big bucks to the Asians for their 1-watt SET systems. I've seen nice consoles gutted to sell the drivers on ebay. You might have some of those.
