RCA LC-1 Special?


Hello all,

I aquired some old speakers a little bit ago and recently discovered that they might be quite valuable.
The are RCA Type LC-1 Special, Extended Range, MI-11411-BX
I have done some research and am a little familiar with the LC1-a,b and c’s, but I can’t find anything on the BX.
I’ve taken lots of photos, but it looks like I can’t post them here.

Any ideas of what I’ve got here? thanks in advance!

@whart, thanks for your response! I went took your advice and created a Flickr account so I could share photos. 

@james_edward, I hope these are what you are looking for! however, these are are not in the beautiful consoles I've see in photos. the drivers  are housed in looks to be a home built box. 

Here is a link to the Flicker album I just created

I'm happy to take any additional photos, or provide any additonal info that may help. I'm really interested to learn some history on these speakers.

Some more info, that might be interesting. 
you'll see in the photos that under the magnet cover, you'll see what I'm assuming to be a crossover with a handwritten number. 

I think these must have come from a studio or church or some other of professional setting as there is a 70v transformer installed inside the box. 

They actually sound pretty nice. strong mid range, super warm sounding. I think they might need to be supplemented with a tweeter for modern music, or maybe change or adjust the crossover (if that is possible) but when I put on some John Coltrane, it all made sense, they sounded fantastic.
