A pair of vintage Goodmans speakers model Mezzo II.
Lovely vintage conditions, fully working, massive and powerful speakers made of real wood venereed on the outside (no MDF).
Their sound is powerful and loud with deep basses.
Study pictures for conditions, but the front covers are really in good shape.
Made in England, in Wembley, in a time when Goodmans was a well respected speakers manufacturer, not a reseller of cheap consumer products like today.
Gorgeous front covers with salt an pepper nuances, not removable. (The two speakers and the crossover are accessible from the back)
The Goodmans placards on the front can rotate in case you wish to place the speakers horizontally or upside down and still see the placards neatly readable.
The inputs are with DIN connectors, with the speakers I’m also including two connectors with 2 x 1,5 m high quality speakers cable. The DIN connectors are linked to the cables with little screws so you can connect them to your own speakers cables.
The two big woofers are marked: Made in England, Reference number 20415 20
The two knobs for the tweeter level controls on the backs are original, however the metal covers were not present so I have placed new round metal covers made of polished Aluminium on top of the two knobs.
Also in one of the two speakers (the one with the light letters C.I. on the back) the original Hunts capacitor didn’t work so I’ve replaced it with another capacitor, same specifications, of the same English brand Hunts. (See pictures of the inside for the way it is securely attached to the frame)
Original bipolar Metallised Paper capacitor:
Hunts, 8.0uF, 150 Volts, model JB2973. (Still present in one of the two speakers)
Replaced in one speaker with another bipolar Metallised Paper capacitor:
Hunts, 8.0uF, 150 Volts, model W49/1 B552.
I’ve also resealed with pvc tape the inside interface between case and rear panel, in order to improve the air tighteness.You can see, hear, test and collect them in Bristol (of course no spedition fees in this case) or you can hear the actual speakers of this listing if you go on the most famous website for tubes and videos and search for:
