Matched pair of Celestion 12” Pre-Rola Greenback speakers


Made in England


Grey inked date code-BB, vertical on speaker frame leg=February, 1969


Ribbed cones look original with matching white inked code: 34-102-014 (only one photo of cone code since second cone code is to close to the solder lugs tab to photo)


1/4” glued repair at one cone edge…see photo…


T1281 inked code:

55hz=response

16 Ohms

G12H =Model

25 Watts


S=additional inspection letter

Has circular quality control stamp


Original Pre-Rola era “one solder terminal tab” chassis (no extra, unused, solder terminal tab mount areas or holes stamped in chassis)


No cut-outs or notches on solder terminal tabs (solder terminal tabs with “cut-outs” or “notches” at the sides were used mid 1969 onwards)


I bought these used in the mid 1980s and never ended up installing them. They have been stored in my collection since.

Not sure why there are no labels on the back. Possibly these were originally sold to be used in bulk the same as the EV speakers used in early boogies did not have the EV sticker on the back.


Excellent clean, usable condition, but speakers are not returnable, so please look at the photos closely and ask any questions if I can help.


Double boxed and carefully packed for safe shipping.


Use these nice, clean, pre-Rola era Celestion greenbacks as replacements, upgrades, in a project amp or speaker cabinet, or add to your collection.
