    AO-xxxx is a Hammond part number. The following 6 digits are the EIA manufacturer's code and the date code so 575 is Heppner and the last three would be the final digit of the year made and the week of the year, so 544 would be the 44th week of 1965.
    They were in Hammond L100 spinets which were sold between 1961 and '71.
    Some EIA codes are 2 digits, for example Eminence is 67 so the maker/made code will be 5 digits.
    There's a full EIA list on the web.
    Lowry organs often have Jensen P12Ns installed, tube amp'd Hammonds Heppners. There are also 12" Heppners with bigger magnets and voice coils that were installed in juke boxes, at least 30 watts.
    The 15" Heppners from the 60 watt 7591 power tube Hammond H100 are astonishing.
    Years ago I made a vertical 3x15 with them, staggered baffle like a sideways V. I had a Pignose G40V 6L6 Bassman based amp, I had no pkace to play it, it was SO LOUD lol.
    Hopefully the prices on these Heppners won't spike too high like the square magnet OEM Eminences have since your reveal of those a few years ago. They're nearing $100 a piece. Reverb Heppner prices are getting Reverb-stupid, hopefully there won't be too many chuckleheads buying them for $100+.

    Some info I found:
    Hammond used these Heppner alnico speakers as tuned pairs. One speaker would have a ribbed cone and would be voiced for the low end of the organ's tone spectrum and the other one would have a smooth cone and would carry the mid tones.
    These alnico speakers make great guitar speakers, the idea is to follow the tuned pair concept in a 2 x 12 or 4 x 12 cabinet or use the ribbed cones exclusively. The smooth cones aren't voiced to carry the guitar's spectrum and can be harsh and brittle without the ribbed to balance them out. These are rated at around 20-25 watts.

    Love the sound of that Tele and the natural reverb in this place you have-that’s what I would call Airport hangar/parking garage reverb-😂-you must own a huge building. Never heard of Heppner speakers. Had CTS speakers in a 1970 Carvin 2x12” cabinet and blew them at practice one night, went and borrowed the same identical cabinet a friend owned and blew his speakers later that week. Not sure why. Later I discovered a sticker on the back of my transistor Carvin amp head that said 100 watts instead of the 80 watt head I was supposed to receive when I ordered it. Don’t know if the CTS speakers tolerances were figured that close or if CTS were just known for blowing. A 100 watt transistor amp surely does not put out the same real world volume as a 100 watt tube amp.

      Thanks! It’s a pretty long corridor outside the room I’m recording in. I haven’t had any problem with CTS speakers myself but I’ve only used 10” CTS speakers in my cabs so far. Maybe your 12” CTS were rated even below 40W each?

    • @scotthutchens1203
      @scotthutchens1203 Год назад

      @@JohanSegeborn It’s very possible they could’ve been 40 watts apiece and the 100 watt head blew them. I was supposed to receive Carvin’s 80 watt head. I didn’t know much of anything about speaker specs in 1970 since I was 15 then. I did an internet search on CTS speakers blowing-one guy instantly blew a set of 15” inch that were rated correctly for his amp head. Other stories in the “Gear Page” discussion forum (you have to join with password-not on Facebook) seem to point to problems and at least a couple people said they broke up way too easy in an undesirable way when the amp was cranked plus I think they might’ve sounded more dull so they got other brands. They were also in Kustom amp cabs. I traded mine in on Cerwin Vega 12” guitar speakers having them installed in that cab which ended up being very efficient and kind of harsher sounding. Cerwin Vega 12” for guitar might be a good shootout with the JBL D120F-I just remember them being bright and harsh so I used them for home built monitor cabinets.
      Another speaker-my favorite JBL-is the (now out of production) called the G125-is a fantastic speaker. Don’t know why they discontinued such a good sounding speaker. It has a very big full sound and an overdrive characteristic like Celestions plus handle 200-250 watts. They sound great with Fenders and Boogies. I don’t like the EVM-12L, too efficient sounding for me-have watched your excellent comparisons with all these. Your Heppner speakers don’t sound bad at all.

    Some of the heppners can sound great, but others not so great, and they all look exactly the same. I had a 4x12 with all good ones but I traded it for a guitar. I have another pair now, but they are only OK sounding. I have a bunch of 12" hemp cones from "Hempopotamus" someday I'll recone them and see if they sound any better. I kind of gave up on them because of the low power handling, hit or miss greatness, and I think they should stay in old Hammond organs where they belong. Another good one to look out for is the Magnavox 232, a pre jensen Peter Jensen design which is basically a P12N, such a great speaker for that tweed sound. AO- prefix is a Hammond part number, the amplifiers also have the AO- prefix. I think the early Dr. Z Carmen Ghia and Goodsell SUper 17 amps were based on Hammond amp conversions. Would love to hear what some of your local amp gurus could do with a Hammond amp conversion.
