Help! need info on old drivers

[oldjunk]

Hello everyone. I could realy use some help. I need specs on some old drivers I bought about 20 years ago from PE(no kidding) and never used. The drivers are so old I don't even think there were T/S measurements then! I will get a woofer tester to measeure but in the meantime I can use any info anyone out there would have along with recomendation s on how to use these.

290-180 15" Eminence Thruster woofer
290-137 12" Eminence Thruster woofer
290-029 Audax 6 1/2"? woofer
270-055 MG horn/bullet tweeter
290-101 11"? woofer made by Phillips or audax or Siare?
290-029 6 "? Onkyo monitor 9 woofer
281-100 Sanyo midrange speakers

Also Pioneer ribbon tweeter marked 87-0516 and ART-54F
Also 12" Eminence speakers marked EM12AE and 12 30 2 AE and 67-8139

Thank you very much in advance for any info you may have.

Maybe someone out there has a stack of real old PE catologs with this info?

I started DIYing again (27 yrs after doing it myself in H.S.) in 2000, after the big "D". In that cat. the 290- numbers were already ALL Pioneer drivers. 290-028 was a 6-1/2". So I'm thinkin' you'll be needing cats from the '90's (or, like you said, even the '80's).

Also, in your list, you've got TWO drivers numbered 290-029.

Thanks for looking!

Yeah the 2nd 290-029 is a mistake, on those drivers there is no PE part number. I remember now that these onkyo's were in a buy out flyer

I hope someone can find some info I have several of each of these drivers. I know they are old but I'd really like to put something together with them. I now work for a company that gives me access to free Birch plywood cut offs, many times they are nearly full sheets. It's driving me nuts I have to build something!

You know I just thought of another clue when typing my last post. I bought these drivers around the time the first Audax speaker project booklet came out. Thats why I bought the 6 1/2" drivers to build the MTM project in the booklet. I can't find the booklet anywere online. Anyway maybee that will help. It had to be late 80's early 90's

Otherwise, they could be road hazards :-)
