    Incredible video Garrett! Love the amount of care you put into your videos. It just makes it feel so comfortable and welcoming. Glad to see another upload from you, and I can't wait to see the blowouts of the Bose subs, the iMac speakers (going up in flames, that is 😂), and the JBL bluetooth drivers! I bet its going to be incredible!

    Come for the speaker blow outs, stay for the cats (just kidding, these long videos are great). Those coil burn outs were insane! You should definitely get some proper slow-mo going of those burning up.

      you will never be able to get original parts and probably never see the same model.
      what a waste. rather see him do Sumthing productive instead of trashing grate quality parts.
      R.I.P. to replicable vintage speakers thanks to this braindead crap that people like to see.
      just go watch car crashes or pro audio fails.

    I realy like vintage speakers, because they have a good sensitivity, and they get loud at 10 - 20W of input power. I have 10" Soviet speakers from 1970's, and the woofers have ALNICO magnets and they could play low frequencies, bellow 40Hz.

    Also, so cool to hear BILY on 60 year old speakers. Wonder if whoever assembled them on that day in the 50s thought they'd be destroyed by some music they couldn't even imagine would exist.
    PS: I can appreciate and love your meerkat character now I've been turned into a furry since last watching your videos.

    that old no brand speaker might be and might I don't know yet but I think I found it "Vintage GE 12" Alnico Speaker, Smooth Cone, 3.2 or 4 ohms, 1957-1962, General Electric S1200D" I'm not a speaker nerd but it looks remarkably close to what it is
    edit: just adding what my last comment was so I can keep everything in one comment to the first part of the video, (wow what a nice old piece of tech to be destroyed still history to see for the future also I'm impressed they work this well)
