Re: tell me about these celestion speakers

Welcome to the forum.

Can you give us the TXXXX on the frame, and the cone number. Also there's a date code that should be a couple of letters and a couple of numbers, together.

Re: tell me about these celestion speakers

With the guys around here, if they're from the right era, they're pay bookoo bucks for em.

Me, I don't care much If they sound good, I could care less what the label says on the back.

If the sticker is right, it's a T1221.
And it looks like a Blackback from the last half of the 70's.

Looks like a blackback, same thing as a greenback I believe. Depending on when it was made the plastic cover color was changed. Made in England, I'd expect to get about $95 each, thats what I found on the used market when I was searching for mine.

Re: tell me about these celestion speakers

hey! thanks for the replies. the cab is at our jam space now so i cant investigate at the moment, we are jamming tomorrow so ill pop one out and get the numbers. i am 98% sure they are T1221 like janarn said.

what i am really after is a number for the price. i honestly have no clue, 100.. 200.. 300?? haha. if someone with experience dealing with now can give me a guestimate on what i should ask for them itd be really appreciated.

meanwhile check out my band and buy our record OHMWAR http://www.ohmwar.com/

IDK, with a mounting gasket on the magnet side, that sticker could be a later add-on. And it doesn't look like a vented magnet either, so my guess is 80's something. But I am just guessing without the numbers...
