CMI
and SAI Speakers

Local
speakers for local people. Not valve, but cool anyhow. These vintage
delights were made in the 60's and 70's hotbed of music technology,
namely Coppull - the village of the damned. Despite being an insignificant
ex-mining village in Lancashire with a population of about six, Coppull
had two workshops producing audio equipment. CMI (Chorley Music Industries)
- subject of the Sex Pistols song of the same name, and SAI (don't know
what that stood for). I've also seen a SAI valve guitar head, a VERY
basic model with 2xECC83 and 2xEL34 with the only controls being a volume.
I had the misfortune to work with a former SAI grunt, she was unable
to give me any useful information about the place, but knew all about
caravans and line dancing. Need I say more.
Thanks to that bloke for the semi-permanent loan of the CMI's |
