Oh you have got to be kidding? I have been looking FOREVER for these exact speakers. How much do you want? I can do Home Depot, Lowe’s, gift cards, etc. How does 5,000 dollars sound?
RCA LC-1 Special?
Hello all,
I aquired some old speakers a little bit ago and recently discovered that they might be quite valuable.
The are RCA Type LC-1 Special, Extended Range, MI-11411-BX
I have done some research and am a little familiar with the LC1-a,b and c’s, but I can’t find anything on the BX.
I’ve taken lots of photos, but it looks like I can’t post them here.
Any ideas of what I’ve got here? thanks in advance!

Okay, I'm Back :) a moderator accidentally removed this post. @whart, thanks for your response! I went took your advice and created a Flickr account so I could share photos. @james_edward, I hope these are what you are looking for! however, these are are not in the beautiful consoles I've see in photos. the drivers are housed in looks to be a home built box. Here is a link to the Flicker album I just created https://flic.kr/s/aHsmoNbbvY I'm happy to take any additional photos, or provide any additonal info that may help. I'm really interested to learn some history on these speakers. |
Some more info, that might be interesting. you'll see in the photos that under the magnet cover, you'll see what I'm assuming to be a crossover with a handwritten number. I think these must have come from a studio or church or some other of professional setting as there is a 70v transformer installed inside the box. They actually sound pretty nice. strong mid range, super warm sounding. I think they might need to be supplemented with a tweeter for modern music, or maybe change or adjust the crossover (if that is possible) but when I put on some John Coltrane, it all made sense, they sounded fantastic. |
Value 1500-2500 cabinet is worthless and adds no value cool driver you would be hard pressed to find better sound for 1500-2500 plus they may increase in value I collect restore loudspeakers and have a soft spot for RCA MI kit so my values are close. I have a fairly large RCA collection most of what is considered the best stuff FYI at this time collector markets are taking a hit. Values may drop in the near term. |
