martin8708 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I have this old vintage Goodmans speaker as part of my current speaker stash , and I'm struggling to find out any information about this speaker . I know there are quite a few knowledgable speaker guru's around the hallow'ed halls of Basschat , so if anyone can tell me abit more about the speaker , ie , age , application and poss it's worth , I would be grateful. I assume it is an Alnico Speaker and the box has AXT2 1210/15 T/L w/cone . Its a 12 inch 15 Watt speaker with cone is as far as I have got . E Toogood is Eric Toogood , who may have been the local Isle of Wight dealer for Goodmans . I have the original box which is labeled Goodmans Industries Limited , Wembley , Middlesex . I have tried Mr Google and Yahoo , not too much floating around at the moment . I known it's not really a based related subject , ( more poss guitar related ? ) Many thanks in Advance Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Your speaker looks like one pictured on this website http://www.ampaholics.org.uk/vintage%20speakers.htm they might well be able to tell you more about it and its value.

stevie Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 It looks like a Goodmans Axiom 22 MkII and apparently worth a lot of money to the right collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Apparently those Axiom 22's are very popular in the 'audiophile' community. And they're even bigger suckers for 'tonal voodoo' than us bassplayers - there's [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/pair-of-Goodmans-axiom-22-in-excellent-condition-/261681796299?pt=UK_AudioVideoElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_HiFiSpeakers&hash=item3ced7354cb"]a pair of these bad boys[/url] on the bay for £1500 in the Hi-Fi category.

martin8708 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Many thanks for the replies so far . Thanks howiebass, I have seen the Ampaholics website a few times , it never seems to change and a small note at the bottom states last updated 2013, so I'm not sure how active the site is , mind you , anythings worth a try . Thanks to Steve and Skank as well , wow, £1500 for a pair seems a bit optimistic to me , I'll have to watch them to see if they sell. Seems to be more radio / hi-fi application , rather than putting it in a guitar cab . many thanks again . Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 As others say, it's a full range driver - note the twin cone.Would advise not tying to use it or guitar or bass. Probably low wattage. Sell it to a hifi nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
