Early Lansing D131 Venice Pair

[oldsoundz]

Recovered these from a pair of homebuilt Karlson enclosures. Found coupled with the a 16 ohm n2400/075 upgrade.

What can you guys tell me? No model number label like I've found on other early Lansings. Are these cones original? STEVE, WHERE ARE YOU!? I think I've determined these were built in 47-48 (Venice tags).

Is the handscribed number the serial? Were these speakers built by Jim?

I would vote non jbl.

but they look old or stored with out any care that they deserved.

You mean the cones don't look JBL?

By the way... these speakers came out of the studio of the late Dale White III, actor on the Jack Benny show, and also has credit attributed to the soundtrack for the show.

Those are definitely aftermarket cone kits (Waldum??, or, however it's spelled).

Waldum? I'm not familiar, at all. Are they an old company? What are they known for?

I have the spelling wrong, it's Waldom. They make aftermarket kits for use with a number companies. If the part number on the backside of the cone starts with a "W", it's a Waldom kit. They've been around for years.
