: : Hi folks,
: : I have been trying to identify these speakers for some time now, emailing their pictures to numerous speaker related companies, with no luck. By their physical characteristics I'd say they are fairly high quality vintage tweeters. ANY further information on them would be much apreciated as I have several pair, still in their boxes. (no markings on box tho)
: : I've been told that they were made by Philips in 1978 (by the numbers on the back) What I'd really like to know is, what model speakers they belong in? ANY help with this would be greatly appreciated.

: : Thanks, Alan

: : Pics 5 and 6 are hi-rez, over 500k

: Hi --just saw the tweeter in question --this tweeter was made in the late 70's early 80's by a fellow whose last name was Long -- he was making a midrange also that looked much the same as the tweeter --He was based in Indiana -- no relation to E.M.Long Associates---- as far as I can remember they were not in production for very long ---hope this helps ---Bob Oliver Winnipeg,Canada)

Hi Bob,
yeah, two people have said the same thing. Long Engineering or Bill Long but for the life of me I can't find anything further than that. Well now I know he was located in Indiana, thanks.
The first pair is about to sell on eBay, (auction ends about now) they're at $5.50, was hoping to identify them more accurately to target them to someone who may really need them, as in what brand and model speakers they actually sold in.

Thanks for the Help, Alan
