in Vintage Speakers
Can't understand how this would happen. Why would there even be 2 of the same sticker? Anyone else have 2 speakers with the same serial #?

    Never thought of this angle ( & I'm married to a twin ). Maybe they split themselves up at the factory.

    I was going to take a pic of both but you couldn't see the stickers good enough. I can do another, for science sake

    Serial numbers are moot at this point. It's an oddity for sure, but I wouldn't get too excited over it.

    Since they came in one box as a set, I don't find this odd at all, I would bet the 4's were the same way..

    With the 7's, 10's, and bigger speakers they came in two different boxes..

    I'm just guessing but it makes sense..

    Found a pic of another pair of 5jr+ on eBay with matching serial #s right around the time mine were made. So, this must have been a thing they did for at least the 5jr+ at that time.
