Off Topic Craigslist Treasuer

[R and R]

I bought these from the original owner who had them in his closet for about 30 years. This is as close to new as you can get. If anyone can help me figure out the wattage, it would be greatly appreciated. Speakers numbers are C12G, 67 8312. Thanks.

Wow talk about a double score! Sure as hell does not look like he used them much at all if ever.

Eminence 12 "

Those speakers are Eminence 12" and probably 50-75watt, should be 8 ohm. Don't know wattage for sure. But the code 67 8312 translates as Eminence (67) made in the 12th week of 1983. They came stock in RD 112-50 amps, so I would think they are rated at more than 50 watts. C12G means Ceramic (34 ounce magnet) 12 inch and the G was for "who knows" maybe a G voice coil. or maybe it was for power handling capability. The current Legend 1258 has a 34 ounce magnet and is rated at 75 watts. So I am going to say these are rated at 75 watts.

Hey straycat113, I just noticed that you are from Brooklyn? That's where the speakers came from. Ya never know what's in your back yard.

the "G" stands for Guitar (guitar speaker)

they make a bass speaker as well, which is indicated by a "B"

btw, I can't get over the condition those are in....amazing find.
in your 2nd picture there appears to be a combo amp to the left...which model is that??

The other amp is a 210 Seventy-Five RP. You can really get that 70's tone.
