I aint been quiet for noffink
    Hi Andr'e, good to hear from you.

    Any chance of a photo of the innards of your newly fettled F307?

    Beautiful Hartley 24" woofer in USA. That would definitely make an interesting sub. Postage steep though.

    Looks like that woofer can whack you in the belly with bass!

    'White van man' speakers. These literally used to be sold out of the backs of vans in supermarket carparks and the odd layby by dodgy looking characters. There were warnings in the Hi-Fi press about avoiding these at all costs.

    Yes, I remember these ''White Van Man'' Speakers. Sadly, never heard one! Do they sound decent Geoff?

    Yes, I heard some bloke using them to play records he was flogging at a boot sale. All I can say about the sound is that they were working.

    You've got to love a speaker with it's own heat-sink - lovely.
    There's an article in The Knowledge about Hartley

    Decent looking pair of first series Celestion Ditton 15 speakers (with the HF1300 tweeters), badges missing but still nice. Very musical speakers these. Price is fair for nowadays too.

    On an Ebay advert today:

    Vintage Speakers
    VERY RARE
    IN GOOD CONDITION

    MADE IN ENGLAND
    THE BASS WOOFERS WORK GOOD.......JUST NEED RE-FOAMING
    STILL HAVE A DECENT SOUND EVEN WITH THE FOAM MISSING
    MAGNETIC S ARE WORKING GREAT

    .........AND ONE TWEETER IS FAULTY
