jabba_0 - a seller of quality vintage HiFi since 2003.
Please visit ME and MyWorld
for more information about me and my selling policies.


This auction is for a Goodmans tweeter for the illusive Achromat Loudspeaker range (it was used in the Achromat Beta, Achromat Kappa, and Achromat Sigma).
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR SUPERSIZE PHOTOS

Please note: the soft dome of this tweeter is cosmetically damaged and as a result its frequency response has been impaired (read on for details).
If you require a Goodmans Achromat tweeter in perfect cosmetic and sonic condition then please see my other auction.


This Goodmans tweeter is a soft dome radiator with physical appearance and dimensions identical to the more common Goodmans DT3 and DT4 units which were used in many Goodmans loudspeakers during the 1970's (including the Minister, Mezzo, Magnum, Magister, Dimension 8, etc).

Specifications:
Type: 1-inch soft dome radiator
Frequency range: up to 23kHz (at -5dB)
Nominal impedance: 8 ohms (it measures 7.2 ohms DCR on my multimeter)
Dimensions: 65mm inner front baffle diameter, 95mm outer front baffle diameter, 70mm rear magnet diameter

This tweeter was recently removed from a Kappa loudspeaker with an open-circuit bass driver ((please see my other auctions for the 2nd tweeter, corresponding crossovers, and cabinets).

Sadly, this particular tweeter is NOT in perfect working order.

It does work, however its frequency response has been impaired to a degree, presumably as a result of its dome being dented (see photo).
The best way I can describe the sound is warmer and less crisp that it should be.

If you have a listening environment in which sound matching between loudspeakers is critical, you may prefer to purchase the fully functional Achromat tweeter advertised in my other auction.



Payment & Shipping:

Before placing a bid please read my
Bidding, Payment & Shipping Policies to ensure you agree with them.

For UK buyers I prefer payment to be made by IBAN Bank Transfer, Personal Cheque, or payment upon local collection, however I will also accept PayPal.

For international purchasers I prefer payment to be made by IBAN Bank Transfer, however for this item I will also accept PayPal.

I will ship this tweeter internationally to a number of countries (at my discretion), but please email me BEFORE placing a bid so that I can provide an accurate shipping quote to your country and discuss the relevant details, otherwise I reserve the right to CANCEL your bid.


All questions welcome!....
I will be listing many more vintage HiFi pieces in the coming weeks!....
