Also @HDBRbuilder can tell you where to look on the Heresy to see if the SN was stamped into the wood. He, along with @JRH can possibly narrow it down based on "Mr. Bradford."

wuzzzer Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Well, it's a Heresy as you already know. 🙂 On the back of the cabinet there should be a serial number stamped on the top. The letter within the number will tell you the year it was made.

topherchanin Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) aww you guys are all so wise. the serial number at the top is 25P485. thank you all for the replies. Im sorry it has taken me a few days to figure out that you all responded. Ill try to upload some pictures. Another question..is it even worth keeping a single speaker or should I sell and try to find a pair? if so what would you all determine the value if it is in working order? cris Edited June 28, 2021 by topherchanin adding pictures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 It would make a great center speaker for a Heritage theater setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
