Celestion / 1964 Matched Pair G12 T731 Alnico 12 Speakers 15W 15ohm / 1964 / Amp
|
Very Good condition, 7/10, both dated 27DJ which means 27th of April 1964, and both come with the original Pulsonic H1777 cones but one of them has 3 repaired cracks, this model was used by Selmer in for example their Zodiac amps but the same speakers with a different color were used for the early Marshall cabs so many consider these Alnico speakers to be the Holy Grail of speakers and they are extremely rare and coveted, they were introduced in September 1963 and used until late 1965, there is a stamp that says Received 1 MAY 1974 but we think this should be 1964. Only sold as a pair. These days they are almost impossible to find. These would make a great addition to any early to mid 60 s vintage Marshall, VOX, Selmer or JMI combo and cabinet, info from Bygonetones.com: Sometimes printed T0731Introduced around Sept 1963, these were the stock speaker in Selmer Zodiac combos until late 1965, when they seem to have been superceded by the T1134 G12H.Has the hammered/oyster paint finish to the metal chassis & magnet, and is a smarter looking speaker than the T652 in my opinion.TRANSITIONAL FEATURES:The cone appears to be the same as the T652 and is stamped H1777 or 003, however from about mid 1965 the T731 came with a heavy band of welvic doping on both sides of the cone, similar to most G12H speakers of the period.Speakers used by Selmer often have a received by date stamp on them. These can be anywhere between a few days to several months after the Celestion manufacture date code, and this gives us some insight into the amount of shelf life they had.
