Hoppie asked:


the amps have two banks (right to left) of the four links the speaker: 16 Ohm, 8 Ohm, 4 Ohm, COM. I have a mid-sized speaker with 15 Ohm written on the back, two smaller speakers identified locker high standing of wxl 906 and identified a "Audette by lorenz" in the kingdom, that has a volume knob on the bottom. the amps will be hooked up to a phonograph the "phillips" 437 and a platform tray stereo rd of the Sanyo 5030. project area to the speakers around a large room. like this old thing working?

  1. WOW! Cool Tunes daddiO, R the speaker wire the “plug in” type OR if they R the old screw the ends 2 the back of the amp type U will want 2 look @ the wire , One side will have a dotted line printed on it, that one will screw 2 the (pos + ) post & the other to the (neg – ) screw or post, Dont worie about wats & ohms u cant hurt the old . It just means that the more speakers u hook up the less wats/omh s you push through each spkr. when its on & crankin ajust that knob on the bottom, Where did u dig up a relic like that?
