Pair of original vintage speakers produced by the Italian brand GBC, a well-known manufacturer of consumer electronics and audio accessories active primarily during the 1960s and 1970s. These speakers date to the early / mid 1970s and feature a distinctive Italian Space Age / Pop design, with cream-colored molded plastic cabinets, integrated front grille, and contrasting red GBC logo. The design is fully period-correct and representative of GBC accessories intended for use with radios, tape recorders, and small amplifiers of the era. The speakers retain their original internal drivers, featuring approximately 10 cm paper cones, paper / fabric impregnated suspensions (not foam), stamped steel frames, and ferrite magnets. All components are original to the period. The original wiring is intact, and no rewiring or modern modifications have been carried out in order to preserve originality. All wiring remains fully functional. Both speakers have been carefully cleaned and individually tested. Testing was first carried out using a multimeter, followed by functional testing connected to a stereo amplifier, confirming correct audio output from both units. Measured DC resistance values are approximately 3.7 Ω and 3.1 Ω, which is fully consistent with speakers rated at a nominal impedance of 4 Ω. Both units are fully working. It was common practice for vintage GBC equipment that internal components could vary slightly between units, even when the external cabinet was identical. These differences were related to production periods and component availability at the time and are considered original and period-correct. The plastic cabinets are intact, with no cracks, breaks, or structural damage, showing only minor signs of age-related wear consistent with vintage use. The metal hook on the rear of each speaker is an original factory feature, designed to allow the units to be hung or wall-mounted. This detail is typical of comparable GBC products from the same era. Approximate measurements and weight Front diameter: approx. 12 cm Depth: approx. 8 cm Weight: approx. 320–380 g per speaker (approx. 700–760 g for the pair) Nominal impedance: 4 Ω Cable length: each original fixed cable is approximately 4.5 meters long Historical note GBC (Generalmente Brevetti e Costruzioni) was an Italian electronics brand founded in Milan, widely active during the 1950s–1970s. The address “Via Sant’Antonio 15, Milano” refers to the company’s historical headquarters and commercial offices. As was common practice at the time, production methods and internal components could vary depending on period and supplier availability, while remaining fully original and period-correct.
