Any chance you transposed digits and really meant 125114?

If so, yes, those models replaced the original 122231 series of Hiwatt Fanes in the late 70's. The "ugly duckling" cab I posted in your other thread is loaded with those. Excellent speakers.

No, definitely 125 141 Dave

Not familiar with that model. Can you post pics?

Here's pics. I'm assuming they are Fane, the construction looks like it, but the painted finish is unusual. Could it be that Fane bought the frames from a supplier who supplied others?

They are, indeed, Fanes. The finish is called "hammertone" and was used between the cast frame series and the black painted steel frames. Somewhere in there, Fane also produced plain steel (unpainted) framed speakers.

The magnet looks relatively small. Wonder what the power rating might be? Can you read any codes on the cones?

Interesting to note gaskets front and rear, to allow for loading in either style cab.

There is nothing on either cone Dave

Even way up near the throat, on the back side? Sometimes they're hard to see:
