    You don't see these very often--anyone ever heard a pair?

    Very nice for low volume listening. Tweeters alone worth more than current bid.

    Early models used 756A for woofer, these apparently have the 401a

    1955-56 vintage 700 Melodist used the 10 inch 756 woofer.

    The 2nd one in OG's pic has a 756 in it, not a 755.

    Yes the early ones with the 756's and the 3000 series tweeters are worth a small fortune in good condition...There was a pair for sale on eBay awhile ago.Maybe a year or two ago now.. I think they sold somewhere in the neighbor hood of $2600-2800 IIRC.

    Apologies OG. I'm not exactly sure now that you ask. It may have been a dream leaking over into reality. It could be the Mandela effect. But, it was most likely the shots of blue label Johnny Walker. Things haven't really been the same since. Not only are my eyes getting bad, my mind is right behind them.
