Thanks, so obvious, yet like others here, I forgot the maker. Good find, I wrote them, this is what I got:
Hello,
We have a parts list for that model, but we can't get the 16-ohm flat wound voice coil anymore. Our parts supplier only has a round wire 16-ohm voice coil available. It won't be as efficient as the flat wound coil. The price of the do it yourself recone kit is $92 plus the shipping charge. The kit is not listed on our website though.
Thank you, Gene If I use those kits, I would need to knock down the efficiency of my horn mid and horn tweeters to match the lower output of the woofer. I think more than my L-Pads' minimum. | |||||||||
Have you tried Ebay. They currently have two hundred parts/speakers listed for Electrovoice, a few of them as vintage as yours, and the 16 ohm variety. Of course most of them, but not all, are used parts, but better than nothing at all. I searched Ebay under "ElectroVoice 15W, 16 ohm made in 1958". Maybe you'll get lucky>

"If I use those kits, I would need to knock down the efficiency of my horn mid and horn tweeters to match the lower output of the woofer."I think" more than my L-Pads' minimum." Perhaps research the "I think" further - including looking into updated L-Pads? Also, what is the "lower output" measurement that you mention? Realize that I sound like XXXXX, but just trying to help.

I just read more about flat vs round wire and wish I knew about this in the 60's when I was rebuilding/rewinding slot car motors for competition endouros. Being low on funds I rewound blown motors gifted to me by other enthusiasts with the gold standard being a round/cylindrical motor by Globe. Anyway, how much do you figure you lose with the round wire?
