(kinda OT) Anyone know anything about vintage Morse speakers?

I have an 8 inch 8 ohm Japanese Morse 8l-9-29 8 watt speaker with a 4.3 oz magnet. It's in mint condition and sounds great... I also have the compression driver that goes with it. (compression driver is Alnico magnet, the 8 incher is ceramic) Anyone know what these are worth or know where I can find information on them?

 

 

The 8 incher is a dual cone design with a pretty good amount of throw to it, standard accordion surround, and it has (looks like) a 1 inch voice coil. I'll borrow my buddy's camera and take pics if required.

 

 

Thanks for any help.

I just pulled a set of these out of some old Radio Shack Realistic speakers that were in my parent's garage. I believe they went to an old Realistic console (turntable + 8-track player) that they threw out ages ago. I'm guessing they are 70's vintage.

 

The enclosure was junk, supposed to be sealed but far from it. The drivers sound like crap by themselves but could be improved with an adequate crossover and enclosure. See the discussion here...
