I have three pictures attached

This speaker must be really really rare.
Is has serial 83 and is used in the Lansing ICONIC.

I can get an original cone too.
Is it useful to recone in case I want to sell?

For me I sont need.
I will grind the glue off and use it s is.
the cone is tight as a drum.

I would sell it with the original cone as an extra. Let the buyer use his reconer.

Value depends a LOT on who is bidding that week. If you are willing to ship to Japan, it may go as high as a couple thousand. Again, who is bidding that week and how much he wants it can vary the price up or down.

It looks to be in excellent condition.. To bad there wasn't a pair.. If you plan on selling it then DO NOT TOUCH THE CONE ! In fact do not do anything to it. Let the buyer restore it.I'll give you a hundred bucks for it..

If you have to ask what they look like you also don't know their value.

Hey bowtie, you have a PM from me.

[bowtie427ss]

Hey bowtie, you have a PM from me.

Interesting, i thought i replied to the PM. But, lo and behold there is nothing in my "sent" folder. Perhaps i was interrupted before clicking the "send" button. Apologies twice, once for not getting a reply to you, and a second as the answer to your PM is NLA(no longer available) they reside in sunny Arizona now. They actually went several months ago, probably almost a year as i cannot even recall which audiokarma member bought them. So, please don't think you missed them due to a communication lapse.

But still I don't know the range of the value of the Lansing 815.

Anyone??

[Steve Schell]

Audionics yours is the earliest 815 I have seen. The earliest Lansing field coil woofers had a wider basket rim (less cone area) and six mounting holes. The new 415 theatre woofer and the 815 Iconic woofer thin rim eight holers debuted around the end of 1937. Compared to the 415 which was designed for horn loading, the 815 had a slightly smaller field coil and heavier cone to optimize bass response in the vented box. I'm not sure about nine grand, but $5k might be doable these days for a nice 815. No more of these are being made... the building this was made in is now used to recycle old batteries! Good luck with the auction.
