Help identifying this Crescendo Speaker, is it for guitar ?

[uriah666]

It came in a old Marshall cab, obviously it wasn't meant to be there but whatever.

I have been trying to find out if it's really a guitar speaker or a PA speaker (see the whizzer cone) and if it's worth something. The sound its ok, I have played it in the 4x12 without any flaw but now I have taken it out I'm thinking if I should put it in a standalone 1x12 and compare it to my other speakers to get a clear comparison but I'm not sure if it's worth it.



Fane Crescendo 12/100t @ 8 ohm, 100w model, the number code stamped in the out frame seems to be 66386 (1986 ?) and theres another code stamped in the cone with a number 20. It has the Made in England engraved in the frame edge and seems quite old.

Anyone can throw any more info ?

Thanks in advance and regards from Spain !!

1986 could be correct.
it is not for guitar but rather for PA.

Whizzer coned speakers can sound pretty nasty if cranked guitar is played through them. Can be great for clean guitar and for bass, organ, monitors or PA.

I wouldn't think you'd be harming any collector value if you decided to perform a whizzer-ectomy.
