Fortnightly Auctions Of Antiques, Collectables, General Furniture and Effects. New Lots Added Daily.
Sold for: £28
This lot comprises a pair of two-way bookshelf loudspeakers manufactured by Tannoy. Each unit is constructed from particle board with a walnut or teak effect vinyl wrap finish and features a removable black fabric-covered grille. The front baffles are decorated with a gold-tone trim strip along the lower edge. Each speaker bears an adhesive gold-tone label at the base: to the left, it reads ‘Made in Great Britain by Tannoy Ltd’; to the right, a circular device contains the name ‘TANNOY’ above the text ‘Mercury M20’. These units were produced in Great Britain during the 1980s. The internal drivers consist of a tweeter and a woofer, though these remain obscured by the grilles. The rear panels include standard binding posts for speaker wire connection.
Condition report:
The speakers are in good used condition. The wood-effect vinyl cabinets show light wear to the edges and minor surface scuffs consistent with age, notably on the top and side panels (photo 1). The black grille cloth is generally well-preserved and intact, though a small white speck of debris is visible on the left-hand speaker (photo 1). The gold-tone labels show light pitting and surface oxidation (photo 1). The functional status of the internal components and drivers is unknown as the units have not been tested.
