This is why I can remember the Cooper Smith Prodigy, my first real Hi Fi amp. In 1970, I was on my nth system lol!

I might be wrong here, those bass units don't look like the usual Goodmans units. They might be right, but certainly different from the ones I've seen.

They are a squared frame version of the bass unit used in the Mezzo, which had a bi-radial frame front. The Radford is not vinyl skinned as per most Goodmans bass drivers of the time, it is doped. I believe it is very similar to the Achromat 400 bass unit, as may be the midrange. They even used an ABR derivative in the Dimension 8.

(and I do recall Cooper Smith)
