The Wife and I Went Yard Sale Shopping...

[Sp8ctre]

...and I found a set of these on the street for free! Mid 70's Sonics Stereo Speakers Made in Tokyo, Japan.

The finish needs work, but all the internals are in perfect shape and they sound awesome! Can you say LOUD!

33"x23"x15" with a 16" Woofer. Built in Cross Over as well!

Great score. Free to boot.

Hell Yea! If nothing else the Vintage Heavy Grill Cloth is worth picking them up! I could part them out or maybe resale them. Or...I can have a very loud party in my Garage!

Not quite as good as my $1 amp that I sold for $375 about 10 minutes after I bought it!

 

[eSGEe]

I think Ferengi is in the water in OH-HI-HO

Garage is good. It’s where our stereo we purchased back in the early 80s resides. Along with a pair of three way speakers complete with 12” woofers. Was rockin some Live Heart today while working on my Honda.

Im guessing yard sales in YOUR area are WAAAAAY different from SWAMPNECKISTAN yard sales......

--- any farm critters---- or illegal sex acts offered? ---
was GUN PLAY involved at any point?
were you offered a beer by any of the sales people?

A 16" woofer is ONE bigger than any old 15" speaker! nice find

None of the above, but prices are great and there are at least 8-10 and sometimes as many as 20 yard sales every weekend!

It's one of the things we love to do together...

Nice find ! I love those big iron speakers from the 60s and 70s. Your find reminds me of these bad boys I’ve had since 1975.

Cali must be littered with vintage hi-fi!

Someday I’ll write a report/story on these. But, in response, my older brother bought these in 1968 when he was in the Army stationed at Homestead AFB.
