Islander Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 If you could re-size your image file down below 200Kb in size, that would be appreciated. Even with high-speed cable, that picture took a couple of minutes to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Like the boy who was given a box of manure only to exclaim with excitement, "There must be a pony in here somewhere!", I figured an EV woofer might mean EV tweeters like these could be close at hand.

Guest " " Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 It measures the same in size as a new, therefore, it must be NOS. A great story line which will bring hundreds if this were to go to ................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 The attached Zip-File has several photos. Lest anyone be confused. The Mid-range drivers were placed on the woofers for the photos; they're not connected to the woofers. These were in plywood enclosures slightly smaller than a Cornwall. The midrange and tweeter were in a sealed sub-enclosure. Given the degree of deterioration of the enclosures, it was not possible to verify if the bass enclosures were sealed or vented; my guess is sealed. Everything is EV. The woofers and mdranges have cast frames and HEAVY magnets. They could probably be re-coned and brought back to life. The tweeters now appear to be T-35s [edit: several people have correctly indicated that these are not 350s]. One actually works, but they could both benefit from new diaphragms. The crossovers were also EV and included attenuation pots. Overall, they looked like they were reasonably well constructed EV kits, probably from the late 50s or early 60s. If anyone has an interest in restoring any of these, shoot me an email or PM. Other than the T-35s, they're nothing I want to invest time or money in, but I'd rather see them restored and returned to service, than end up in a landfill.

djk Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Those look like the components from an EV6, less the 4x10 midrange horn. The tweeter is a small magnet version of the T35, not even close to a T350. The EV6 is a sealed box about the size of a Belle, and about 96dB/W. http://archives.telex.com/archives/EV/Speakers/EDS/E-V%20Six%20EDS.pdf My father bought his in 1963 and drives them with an HK 730 I got him in 1978.

Guest " " Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Those tweets in the picture look like t-35b's. T-350's have magnets half the size of a coke can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Maybe the pony turned out to be lame. This is a better photo of the tweeters. Bob Crites has indicated that they might not be easily repaired. Oh wel . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The new diaphragms are not self-centering in the old structures, time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
