Description
Tannoy Lancaster 15 vintage corner speaker cabinet (Serial No: 081426) Has a factory fitted 12 Monitor Gold (Serial No: 081426) Perfectly working tested. This mono set provides delightful sonic bliss when reproducing orchestral or pop material. Ideal for playing great mono recordings, remastered 78s or 50s, 60s, 70s LPs & 45s. Many hard pan disasters of the early stereo days, cassettes, reel to reel tapes and CDs are actually far more enjoyable in mono.Altec 605 or Tannoy Monitor Gold were chosen by EMI, DECCA and many professional studios as their standard mastering speakers for one reason: Pure sound from a single point, much less coloured than that of most other speakers. Dual Use Cabinet: 12 drive unit front mounted on plywood sub baffle secured by four bolts spaced for 15. Mounting a 15 monitor gold or late 15 red/pink 8 ohm driver with plastic magnet cover is simple. The 12 remains attached to sub baffle. Undo four nuts, remove sub baffle. Bolt in a 15 unit. X-overs are identical for 8 Ohm 12 and 15 drivers. Port:(12 cabs such as this one have port cowlings. 15 cabs have port cut outs blanked off without cowlings. For 15 the port requires blanking or the cowling to be stuffed)Cabinet, speaker, X over, LF cone, HF coil are 100% originalPowered by fully serviced, rare 1956 QUAD II monoblock amplifier (Serial No: 8042) Genuine Quad replacement mains transformer. All work done by technician who is second to none. Fitted with new old stock military grade JAN CHS 6L6 GA SYLVANIA output valves/tubes. They sound every bit as sweet as GEC KT66 Owned for many years - smoke free home since new. Minor cosmetic blemishes on the top edge, they are barely noticeable. Some light marks on the front grille Very few corner cabinets of this exact type were produced No Pay Pal except friends and family from a UK PayPal account or bank transfer.Cash on collection in person from London NW6 preferred. Welcome to test before buying. Unfortunately I have been scammed with PayPal/Ebay money back guarantee. The risk on high value items is unacceptable. For UK mainland I can send the speaker insured in a box or on a pallet or whatever type of packing the buyer requests International buyers are welcome. I prefer if they book their own collection from London NW6 and properly insure the speaker against accidental damage or loss in transit. The buyers shipping agent should take care of collecting from London NW6 and take care of packing and crating. I am happy to assist in any way possible and pack to a very high standard, including a plywood crate if required. Buyer pays for all packing cost and labour involved in packing.
