Vintage Speaker Encounter: Scott SP1412 Floor Standing Speakers

Once you decide to be a sane human being, a responsible married man, and good neighbor in an apartment complex, huge speakers show up everywhere. For example, I recently ran into these big Scott SP1412 Floor Standing Speakers.


They were a tad ratty and would need new surrounds and new grill cloth for sure.  But, they might not have been a bad buy for the $20 or $30 that Goodwill was asking.  Fortunately, speaker grill cloth isn't too expensive for hobbyists to buy on Amazon.



Pardon the dust, but people back the grills we must.  These Scott speakers do look bad ass in a very vintage way.


These speakers also need new surround foam.  Generally speaker refoam kits are also not too expensive on Amazon. It's just a matter of patiently giving the old speakers the TLC that they need.  Since they are 8-ohm impedance speakers, they should easily work with one of my stereo receivers.
