Wow, those look great! I had a single, but the cabinet was not in that kind of shape. The label on mine looked different too...... smaller maybe?

Nice collectors item. I guess that Homecraft Mfg was who WE outsourced the cabinet construction and final assembly to?
Given the prices that 755As seem to be commanding, I wonder why GPA doesn't try manufacturing new ones? Or is the secret recipe lost forever?

Line Magnetic is doing repro WE stuff, including a field coil 755 - LM Audio 755EXOriginally Posted by wws944

755 EX driver is a faithful reproduction of the 755a in every way but two: Its nominal impedance is 8 instead of 4 ohms, and, instead of a permanent magnet, the Line Magnetic 755 EX uses a field coil
The 755 I's aperiodic enclosure is constructed entirely of plywood, the heaviest panel being a central baffle that's rigidly fastened to the inside front. Within the cabinet is an extra pair of sidewalls, positioned to leave narrow gaps between them and the outer panels; on each side, those gaps are open to the larger volume of air inside the cabinet through only a single small vent, and to the outside of the cabinet through a trio of narrow vents. The inner surfaces of all panels except the front are lightly damped with thin, woolly pads.

Wow! Yeah, beautiful.
Yeah - so is this!
Beautiful. But I am having a hard time getting my mind around $9K for a pair (?) of reproduction PA speakers...
They sold new, in the 1963 Altec catalog, for 30 bucks retail. A 605A was $168.

with still about a day left, those WE KS14703s are climbing like crazy. Looks like they may sell for more than the repros...
