dtr20 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's tough to read the serial numbers, but I think the second digit is a "P". If it's a "P", that means they were built in 1976. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabs in terrible shape but sound beautiful. the two diffewrent labels are both signed by the same person so obviously there was simply a change from one style of label to the next and you got one of each on your pair that's all. no mystery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 If you have consecutive serial numbers and two different tags that wouldn't be seen often. Can't say they would be worth any more but definitely unusual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely because of one of two reasons: 1. One was built much earlier to be a part of a mono system, OR a supplemental speaker to one or a pair of K-horns, and the other was added later to make a stereo pair. This will likely be the case if one has a different ALPHABETICAL digit in the serial numbers with a difference of two years (letters) or more . 2. There was a change-over to the labels being used and they ran out of the old style after labeling one, and put one of the new style labels on the second one. This will be the case if they were consecutively-serial-numbered cabinets....or at least within a few numbers of being consecutively-numbered. The letter in the serial number (also stamped into the rear edge of the cabinet top) determines the year of manufacture for your particular Cornwalls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bim1313 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 They are 8P 180 and 8P 178-cabinets also say 1976 insideSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your new speakers. Stop looking in them and start listening to them. Cincy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
