I found something!

l00t

After some work (including a new coil for the horn tweeter, $26), it’s better than new! Howcome?

Now with extra fusing!
The left fuse is for the entire speaker, the right fuse is just for the horn tweeter.

The loudspeaker is designed to be used as either a monitor (for large environments) or mains speaker (for smaller environments, and my use) and has a tripod mount point and everything. It’s also fuzzy! But not very, about which I have mixed feelings. One of the internal components had a manufacturing date of April 1990, which makes it almost exactly 20 years old. I love what the large main does for vocals. I mean damn. And the low end is super crisp.

I got really lucky stumbling across this in a pawn – it was really cheap because it looked ‘way worse off than it actually was, but they let me poke at it and it came up fixable! Yay!
