• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

I took these out of a Traynor cab I bought about 30 years ago. I actually found 3 of these cabs that a music store was closing out and bought them all.
This set of speakers were used for a couple of recording projects over the years, in a 4x12 cab, with a JTM 45 or a 50 watt plexi, they probably have less than 50 hours on them. Absolutely KILLER sounding G12M's.

Here's the specs...

Model: G12M, T1221, 25 watt speakers.
Bass Resonance: 75hz (lead speakers).
Cones: All four have their original Pulsonic cones. Two with this code: 6 102 003, two with this code: 5 102 003.
Date code: All four speakers are coded "DD"... April of 1972.

3 are labeled with the first post Rola label, one with a pre-Rola label. They are all "pre-Rola" speakers... it's the cones, not the labels that are important.

No issues, no voice coil rubs or tears. The speakers work perfectly and sound like records. If you're looking to upgrade you 4x12, here's your solution.

Here's an album with the pics on Photobucket:
