Default Vintage Goodmans 12", help?

Industries, Wembley England.


Googling the type got zero hits. Hope someone knows something about
these.

That type of cast frame is the form that Goodmans (when they were still
a respected speaker company!) used for the later versions (around 1970)
of the Audiom 51/61 range and the Axiom 201/301. (If they are 12" that
is, the 15" unit was the Audiom 81)

These were the hi-fi versions with a plastic roll surround.


You missed out an adjective.
It should be "dreadful plastic roll surround."
I don't know what plastic Goodmans used but it shrinks over time and
ends up flat, which does wonders for the compliance and xmax.
