Appears to be some model of a 12 inch speaker.

No way to tell with just the magnet which is an early model of the Super Structure series.

The only way to i.d. a BW speaker is by the white tag by the terminals...see the example above.

Also appears the foam plug from the vent has deteriorated and fallen down in the dust cap. The remnants get into the voice coil and cause problems. A technique for cleaning all that up is available in the event you acquire/own this speaker.

Thanks Jerry,

I just acquired this amp so I will look into having this speaker fixed. Thanks for the heads up. This is a 15 Bw from a Session 500. I'm very happy with it.

Don.

Cool. 15 BW most likely a 1501-4 in the 500 era.

Here's a tute on cleaning out the deterioated foam if you are so inclined.

Happy pickin'...great sound with this amp.

Yeah, I took a look at the tutorial and it pretty much showed every thing you said. I tried it out and it was just like you said. The magnet came off and that old sponge was just lying their deteriorating. I cleaned it out, put the magnet on and she's working like new. I found the model #, it's a 1501 4ohm. Lots of power under this hood. I'm going to like this one. Thanks again Jerry.

Don.
