I remember AMS from the old days Tony but the name Nick Cohen doesn't ring a bell with me but because we were so far away from London we didn't socialize as much as we should have done really but I can still remember some good old West End nights out with Peter Ross, Chris Sherwin and Cliff Campbell.

Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Once you have, call him what you like, you're a mile away and you've got his shoes!

Black widow, They had volts like these and also Celestion rtt50 with a tiny lens (not like these). I did have a few many years ago, they sounded really rather good. Sold them all but for some reason I still have a pair of the lenses in my shed. (!?)

I seem to remember that a lot of those small lenses were made by Isophon.

Colin they were probably ours. I used to sell 2x10 plus horn to Avitec to go above their Cerwin Vega bass cabs. We also did a 4x10 plus horn which went into the Circus Tavern in Purfleet. Those were the days.

I think that where I remember them from at one of the shows with the JE36/stroker cabs.
Used to love the Avitec stand at the shows, always had plenty of good kit (well for them days anyway) and a massive rack of KT processing stuff complete with KT analyser that would have made a  skytec cabs sound great Lol.
I Wonder whatever happened to Tony Kingsley?

That's when plasa/badem shows were the best I also remember the A.S.S stands from those shows too, great stuff and totally of of the realm's of most Dj's but I did get some in the end! (but about ten years later)

Avitec were of course the UK Cerwin vega importers back then..Hitchin in Hertfordshire if i remember? They had an excellent colour brochure around 1980,which would rival the Squire's catalogue for disco goodies.....including the entire Kremesa range of lighting,helicopters,etc.
Be seeing you.

At first sight i thought those were E-120's Gav,Happy days,but looking closely,they dont have the ally centre domes...icant make out the label,but i believe these are the smaller G125-8's....if someone wants the fourth driver to match them all up,i have one in the for sale section.
