    I asked the guy that runs our theater if he ever decides to replace them to let me know.... He let me know right then that they would never part with them. He mumbled something about the crossovers needing rebuilding but they still use them for every play and love them.

    You guys were right they are 9844. Cabinets are trashed but the the components look good. For $75 each I had to own them.

    Do you know the driver load yet?

    These spanned a huge range of years from the early "844" with curved spoke 414's all the way into the ferrite years.

    They look pretty early, curved spoke gold 414Z, green 806A and of course the green 811s from the photo.

    I should have realized from the green horns alone that they're "844's".

    Note that spec sheet is from 1965.

    Just for giggles, check ebay over the course of a few weeks and see what a great investment you made.
