Hello Lansing Heritage,

I just bought a pair of 7A. The cabinet is made of 3/4 inch plywood. It has split back panels, 416-8A woofer, 806-8A HF driver and 811B HF horns. I thought the specs were 5/8 inch plywood or 5/8 particle board. The cabinet looks to be 50 years or more.

Don't you think that thicker is better ? ;-)

Factory often used what they had and didn't always adhere to specs.

Not to mention that there must be more replicas than originals anyway. ;-)
