It looks like one of Tannoys PA drivers from the PUMA or Cougar range, as used by Gladdy Wax in London. A working pair of Puma boxes  would typically sell for £300 second hand. Im not certain, its been many years since I messed about with them.


If Gladdy uses em .... and they're rare/hard to come by - why not offer it to Gladdy ?

His website is

http://www.reggaeunlimited.com

Pretty sure the info@ email address will reach him, otherwise I think you can use gladdy@ his domain.
REMEMBER....POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS SHOULD BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

I found thread on the above forum, the drive look's very similar to yours apart from the underside of the cone. When my brothers Father in law passed away they were having a clearout and his mother in law suggested giving me his old tannoy's. I said Id love them thinking they were gonna be 80's jobbies. When my brother brought em over he told me my sister in law loved these speakers as a child and wanted to keep them but my brother thought they looked old. Me being very honest ( I still kick myself for not just shutting my mouth!!!) upon looking at them reallised they were Chatsworth corner cab's loaded with monitor gold 15"'s . I hooked them up to my valve amp and played my brother a tune and he was blown away. I then showed him on ebay what a single driver goes for. Im still gutted but I couldnt not tell him what they were. 
On Jah Shaka's old set he used monitor 15's as tops!!!!!!!

Very nice sounding speaker, Ive used them for years.
golds have a rubber surround
Dear God. We paid for all this stuff ourselves, so thanks for nothing

no, HPD's have a rubber surround. Golds had doped linen, silvers and reds were paper edged, but thats going back many many years.

golds and everything before them had alinco magnets, HPD's forward had ceramic.

HPD's also had Alnico mags and use the same hf dias as the Monitor Gold.
They moved to ceramic in the K series.
The 12 inch MG had rubber roll all the other MG's had doped paper.
HPD's and the 3828/28 K series had Tannoplas foam that rots after 10 years or so and girder rienforced cones.
The 3808 had a lighter unreinforced cone with corrugated surround and a higher fs.
