My Grandfather Is Secretly Into The Ladies

Written on Tuesday, the 10^th of January, 2006 at 11:17 am and was filed under: Photography

I liberated a speaker box, a pick axe, and a sledgehammer from my grandpa over the weekend. The heavy tools held no surprises, but when I opened up the back of the speaker box I found this lovely speaker from nineteen sixty whatever in there. Look at the picture! Amazing! She’s as big as my thumb! The box itself is very nice also, but I forgot to take any pictures. I think it is for a 10″ speaker, so I might replace this speaker with a decent sub and hang the old one on the wall somewhere — like in my music room.

I don’t have a music room, and that’s the shame of it all.

   You could also give it to me. I need good speakers. “Give not unto thyself…”

   King,
   if you have the capability to drive a subwoofer this could be an interesting enclosure — except that the back is not so much ported as… vented. I would recommend also getting a choke coil for it, as available at Radio Shack.

   The speaker itself is probably quite terrible.

   Oh, snap! I could have my guitar amp that used to be a record player drive this bitch. That would be awesome!
