VTypeV4 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 WEM used Celestions and Goodmans in those.. Usually! Being brutally honest, I'm not sure what they are, look like they belong in a '59 4x10 bassman.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Impossible to say, but the small AlNico magnets reveal them as generic musical instrument drivers, so I would not consider them for bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 There's a strong possibilty they'd make for nice guitar drivers though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks Guys, they seem to be Rola Alnicos. I think I'll use them for side fills on our small PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 At one point the company was called Rola Celestion. Those magnets were always pretty weak and lost what they had over time so they are more interesting as collectors items than as usable speakers. They are also liable to burning out because they date back to the time of paper formers and low temp adhesives, They always did burn out even when new. If they are working 40 year old speakers then they could be valuable to a collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4-string-thing Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I had a pair of very old, useless, Selmer cabs with Goodmans drivers in them, sold 'em on fleabay for £120 ..... Lord knows why he wanted 'em, but he was more than happy to take them off my hands. I've got a couple of small wedges with Celestion guitar drivers in them from the early 70's too somewhere, they'll be going on there at some point.
