Electrovoice 16A

170.223.243.63

Anyone ever hear of the EV 16A loudspeaker? It is a sealed box with the following drivers.

2" tweeter
4" mid - labeled "Denmark", no numbers, sealed back
12" woofer - Stamped frame labeled 7759 and 719515

The date codes say it was made in 1975. All the cones are paper. The magnets on the tweet and mid are made of a small cylinder with a metal bar bent into a square around the cylinder. The magnet on the woofer is a rather small square of what looks like ceramic (about 3"x3") sandwiched between two metal plates. The woofer surround is rotted foam. I'm looking for feedback before spending any money on a new surround. Anyone have any knowledge of this speaker? Is it worth saving?
