My new (used) cab:

I found this cab down the street from me at a garage sale. It is a 1974 peavey 215 cabinet in near perfect condition. Apparently it used to belong to Grand Funk Railroad. The guy that sold it to me said that his dad recorded GFR in his basement and he has a studio still down there even though his dad died a number of years ago. I'm going attempt to get a tour of the studio. Yes, it sounds amazing. (sorry for the crappy pictures their off my cell phone) P.S-does anyone recognize the speakers? I have no idea what brand they are or anything. Any info would be appreciated.

They look like old JBL's to me. Definitely '70's era and probably no more than 150 watts a piece. If they are I would be very surprised.

I think with those black dots in the centre they might be CTS speakers. Just a guess, I don't recall ever seeing those on JBL's

They look like the metal dust cover that JBL used back then.

I suspect they are CTS. The used a metal dome with a vent back in that era. My JBL's from that era always had a solid dome (E130,K140,D120).

I would agree they are not 70's era JBL as I have two 15 E130's I still use from the late 70's. They are both solid metal domes.

Regardless a great find!

Damn, I'm getting crushed here.............

Sure they're not Black Widwo or Eminence.
I bought a Peavey cab just like this one new 1977 and it came with Eminence in it. I'm not sure when thery started using Black Widow.

If you decide to pop the cabinet open the magnet shape should further confirm if they are CTS if the label is missing. A lot of CTS speakers use a square magnet. They were more or less the Eminence of their era in that they were OEM'ed in a lot of cabinets.

Olie,
I don't ever remember Eminence having a metal dome. They might have since Eminence was started by one of the founders of CTS and their early designs are supposedly copies of CTS.

I managed to get a look at the magnet by popping one of the handles off, it's square shaped. So probably CTS then? Very interesting speakers, thats for sure. I've never seen any quite like them.

Looks like they are CTS:

That carvin looks to to be constructed almost identical to my peavey not to mention the speaker looks the same.

I think this is MY Baby Now! I should be taking delivery Tuesday. I think I'll actually replace the Bass knob. Do you know what happened to the G Tuner cover with the A on it?

Cheers!
