Picked up a pair of very old c34's today. They are loaded with 175 horn drivers and d130's on a n1200 network. Are they worth keeping.... I do not really need them.

Well why not it's just one more pair...
4340's and 250ti's what an odd pair...
No, they're garbage.
Don't even bother to listen to them.
Just send me a PM with your address and I'll be down to get them out of your way.
Are you sure they're D130s and not 130As?

Not sure on the 130's I will dig into them tomorrow after work. I did take the back off and that did not reveal much. Moved to the front and found the two screws on the bottom, once removed the grill can be raised. I removed the retaining screw and extracted the 175 with the potato masher. Looking through the hole I could see the 130, with a mirror. Tired I reassembled the speaker and went to bed. It is a very interesting folded horn design. All things aside still unsure what to do with them. Maby tomorrow I will dig deeper. Will attach pictures of their arrival.

The dust caps are paper and I belive the surrounds also, this post needs pictures... I will take some when I get home from work.

It shouldn't look like a C36 either...That doesn't sound like a C36.

These are the pictures that I took sunday unloading them. I plan on pulling drivers and taking more pictures this week, I have a nasty cold and all I have done today is come home and sleep. I just f\got up to eat and now bed again. The two horns that I did pull were a light blue / grey and Lansing was in cursif.

Whoa! The Mother Load!
Now I know it's not my reading comprehension that's the problem here. Didn't you say "a pair"? Is that Photoshop or did you score three???

You are correct, she had three. Two of them were in the family room and the third was in his shop. The shop one has some scratches, no dents or water damage. The n1200 crossover on the shop one is from the 60's where I belive the other two are mid 50's vintage. I even got the sae preamp in the package. Will probably use it to fire them up this weekend.

Need some advise, two of there are in really nice condition but one is light and the other is dark. I do not plan on keeping them. I was toying with parting out the ugly one and stripping , lightly hand standing and finishing the two so they matched . What makes the most financial long term since for the speakers if I were only to keep them for a year or less. My wife knows about them and their life in my shop will not. Last forever. She counts the.large boxes. But I love her.

I'm thinking that's a bad idea. Those are old enough to be laquer finish. The darker is probably the Walnut finish and the other is likely one of the Oaks. Or one is dark oak and the other one of the lighter oaks. Regardless, the finish is in the wood and under the lacquer and I'm not even sure the wood veneer isn't different between the several finishes offered back then. I'd enjoy them as they are and leave it to the next owner to refinish or re-veneer them as they see fit. I lived with mismatched C37s for over forty years until getting my 4345s. Their appearance seldom bothered me.
So get to the important part: How do you think they sound??
