  • "Thanks" Maddog, yup! it was a good day, but have plenty of bad days when you walk away with nowt !!!!

  • "Thanks" Fomhorach, the resonator cover did come to mind when I got it home, had a look on Google to see if I could find some info on it,  Ebay had an almost identical one listed ( 12" 6 Ohm Plessey Foster 300K03 200W Max JAPAN Woofer Speaker Driver RARE) for $80, might go into a speaker cabinet of some sort???????

  • "Thanks", Jim Morris, never heard the term "Sizzle", makes sense, I figured they were there for that sort of reason, but didn't know if they had something else attached.

  • "Thanks" the anonymous pick, yup!, good score! I had seen cymbals before in 2nd hand traders stores, but were way too dear for my "Tight Ass Ways"

  • It was a good day for ya Bro! :-)

  • I know the speaker is best used as a speaker but I see a resonator cover. I've been looking for a bust speaker about that size just to rip the back off.

  • Cool finds AGP. We used to call those "sizzle" cymbals because the loose rivets would keep vibrating after the initial hit giving a sizzle effect. Really filled out the sound on slow songs! In lieu of the rivets one drummer I worked with would drape Mardi Gras beads on the cymbal for a similar effect.

  • score on the cymbals    especially
