Hi Loungers,

If you have read the #2 out of 3 topics (Fender Deluxe nonreverb) posted several minutes ago, this is the mystery speaker that was referenced.

http://s1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii6 ... 20speaker/

There are 2 potential identifiers on the speaker.
-one is visible in a foto on the back of the paper cone "LCC2843"
-the other coding is handwritten with some kind of marker on the back surface of the frame, 2 fading lines that were not photographable:

"52-33"
"67-7528" (the 6 might be a G)

Any help identifying this speaker is appreciated.
Subjectively, I particularly like how bridge pickups sound clean thru this speaker.

The mystery speaker is...an Eminence from the 28th week of 1975! Here is a link to the codes...and how to date em. It is an alnico magnet, so that may explane the sweeter tone...along with the fact that it may be more broken in.

The 67 is the EIA code for Eminance speakers...see link below...the number 7528 are the date code.

T2,

thanks for the explanation and valuable link! Any idea what the line "52-33" directly above the line you deciphered means? Who would have handwritten these lines, Fender or Eminence?

Chartman...Glad to help you out. That is what this forum is all about.

As for the other numbers, have nothing for you there...as for who Fender or Eminence would have wrote it there...your guess is as good as any bodies. My guess would be maybe one of the amps owners along the way, the Fender Sticker might have had the info on it or as the sticker came off it pulled the info off underneath it and the amp owner wrote it on there to remember it? Or Eminence could have written it as part of thier QC of big batches sent to Fender so they would know? Or lastly...just for fun, Fender ordered them and the stickers got left off so Fender wrote it on there so they would know which configs they could put them in? Thinking about it can hurt your head!

FWIW
