Mesa EV speaker ?

[Jamme1961]

I took this out of my Mesa MKIVA combo - it sounds great - is it a rare speaker? What are the numbers on the cone mean? Does it tell date and model ? Is it worth money? Only had the combo for less than a year. Thanks for any info

That is an EVM-12L -- semi-common Mesa speaker that can take a pounding. You can still buy them today. Not rare, just kind of expensive.

79195 is cone model code. 412 might be a date code. I am not sure if that cone is original, as the size of the characters is different than others I have seen from the 70's and 80s. Those speakers are worth about $250.00.
