vintage GRUNDIG 175mm x 125mm wide-range Alnico drivers—Germany c.1965—excellent

Description

Offered for your consideration is a pair of vintage
GRUNDIG
175mm x 125mm (7 x 5 inch nominal) Alnico magnet wide-range drivers
, manufactured in West Germany c.1965.  These drivers were removed from a GRUNDIG vacuum tube console stereo by the original owner about 25 years ago and boxed for storage.
So, please take a look at my large photos, the measurements, and read the remaining description to decide if these superb drivers are correct for your needs.
These oval GRUNDIG drivers are in clean, excellent condition. They have structurally perfect paper cones, but the voice coil dustcaps are foam and have dried up, as pictured.  However, the cone suspension is old-style, integral with cone accordion-type which is permanent.  Plus, the anodized steel baskets are also in great shape with no scratches, dings, or oxidation.  Also, the plastic magnet covers have no flaws.   And, the former owner left some wire attached to the +/- terminals instead of de-soldering.  Overall, these woofers are remarkably well-preserved!
What’s more, they’ve been fully tested and sound great—fast, detailed midrange extending far into treble.  Plus, I tested their DC resistance at a
perfectly
-matched 2.6Ω each, consistent with, but on the low end of, a nominal 4 ohm driver rating.  Lastly, the baskets measure 7” x 5”, they stand 2⅜” tall, and the mounting holes are spaced 3⅞” apart (5⅜” on the diagonal), center-to-center.
As pictured and described, this splendid pair of GRUNDIG Alnico wide-range drivers is offered at a competitive price.
