Wilder

Post by VENTGtr »

Anyone familiar with Wilder speakers (or amps)? I have a 12" Wilder speaker
that's been sittin' around for years in a little cabinet (Finally took the cab apart
last night to see what was in there).

There's not much info on the "internets" about them. Just that they were
based in Chicago, made amps in the 60s, seem to have made some parts
at times for Fender (Pots, etc.).

Looks like it's an Alnico. The ribs look like an Eminence, but Wilder has their
own manufacture code (449).

Guess Richards and Steve Miller used Wilder amps at different times in the
studio and, with little I've been able to dig up, seems pretty popular with Tele
players.

Wondering if anyone has any info in any big book o' speakers, or somethin'.
