    Description

    Offered for your consideration is one (1) vintage
    Coral
    # 5A-12A
    5¼ inch woofer
    made in Japan c.1970. Please have a look at my large photos and read the remaining description to decide if this superb mid/bass driver is correct for your needs.
    This
    Coral
    woofer is in clean, excellent condition. The sturdy paper cone is flawless and so is the voice coil dustcaps. Plus, the surround is
    permanent
    textile instead of the fragile foam that was starting to come into widespread use when it was made. Also, the anodized steel basket is in great shape with no dings or oxidation. And, the +/- terminals are marked for polarity and I’ve de-soldered the terminals for the next owner’s convenience. Overall, this vintage Japanese driver is exceptionally well-preserved!
    What’s more, this speaker has been fully tested and sound terrific—fast, detailed midrange and good low-end for the platform size. Plus, I tested its DC resistance at 7.8Ω, consistent with a nominal 8 ohm driver rating. Lastly, the basket measures 5¼” across (5 15/16” on the diagonal), it stands 1⅞” tall, and the mount holes are spaced 3⅞” adjacent / 5½” diagonal apart, c-t-c.
    As pictured and described, this terrific
    Coral
    5¼” driver is offered at a competitive price.
