Know anything about the University C15W cast frame speaker?

Post by Walter Killam »

Hi Y'all,

I seem to heave inherited a University C15W that appears to be in excellent shape, it's got a green cast frame and the magnet is enclosed with a spun brass housing.

Some Prelimnary Research makes me think this was produced by Altec Lansing, but I'm not sure of the year.

Before I dig into this thing, I thought I would see if any of you have any experience with these speakers, and what they might be good for!

Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can pass along!

Hi Y'all,

I thought a picture might help. I've been digging around, and the c15w appears to be designed for stereo speakers, but I'm curious if anyone has experience with these in instrument amps.

It's a nice looking piece of engineering if nothing else!

thanks
