\"Coalscuttle\"<\/a>More images of the Coalscuttle<\/a><\/p>\n

As far back as in 1953 Stig Carlsson designed the peculiar \u201dKolboxen\u201d (Coalscuttle) – a cannon look-alike bass reflex object, with built-in tube amplifier, 4 pcs Peerless cone tweeters, MT20HFC, mounted crosswise round the 8 inch midrange unit in the orifice, the broad band driver Philips 9710, and deepest down in the bottom, a Peerless 10 inch bass driver and the tube power amplifier.<\/p>\n

This strange and today very much coveted speaker was sold in a shorter series 1959-62 by the name \u201dElektronlund Ortho Acustical System 1001\u201d, abbreviated \u201dLund LOAS 1001, commonly known av \u201dKolboxen\u201d.<\/p>\n

This extremely well sounding speaker looked like nothing else, either in shape, nor in sound reproduction and rapidly became a favourite among audiophiles of that time. \u201dKolboxen\u201d made Stig Carlsson one of the big promising names in swedish Hi-Fi, and everyone well-informed curiosly followed his progress. Today \u201dKolboxen\u201d with its futuristic cone-form and excellent craft is a coveted jewel almost to view as a precious antique.<\/p>\n

Only 250 to 300 pieces of \u201dKolboxen\u201d were manufactured as approved of by Stig Carlsson.The first series of 150 pieces was made by Elektron-Lund in Malm\u00f6. Manufacturers were Bengt Wilander and Martin Persson. (Martin Persson, MP, during the sixties and seventies beccame a well known designer and maker of loudspeakers). The following series of about 120 speakers were also built in Malm\u00f6, now under the brand Audio-Nike. Responsible for the making of these speakers were four persons: Bengt Wilander, Stig Troholst, a docent Hansson, and Leif Pineus, who kindly gave this information to CarlssonPlanet. A carpenter in Tibro made the cabinets to all original \u201dKolboxen\u201d. There are however statements about a large-scale pirated manufacturing in the neighbourhood of J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping during the same period of time, i.e. late fifties and early sixties. This information is not confirmed by reliable sources.<\/p>\n

LISTENING IMPRESSIONS<\/strong>
\nRestored this speaker must in sound quality be close to the fabulous and subsequent OA6 type 1, since the design in many parts is the same. Then we are talking about very high standards of sound quality. It is said that japanese enthusiasts pay large sums for a pair and that a swedish collector owns twelve of them.<\/p>\n

There was a special pre-amplifier produced for the operation of \u201dKolboxen\u201d, also known by the name Lund 1001. Specifications would be published later on CarlssonPlanet.<\/p>\n

RESTORING & UPGRADING<\/strong>
\nAccording to a Carlsson-specialists the weak point of \u201dKolboxen\u201d is the enclosed, not ventilated installation of the power amplifier. The tube-amplifiers get very hot and this is devastating mainly for the delicate Peerlees bass-drivers installed quite close at the bottom of the cabinet. In particular the surrounds dries out and cracks and consequently the whole construction starts to let air leak in and both the drivers and the amplifier is at risk to be destroyed by fire.<\/p>\n

The solution to this is to move the power amplifier outside of the cabinet and to connect it with cables to the drivers in the cabinet. Today we have no closer information about how this ought to be done, but we will come back on this issue.<\/p>\n

According to specialists it is on the whole just to follow the advice in\u00a0Restoring & Upgrading<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TECHNICAL DATA Coalscuttle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Amplifier:<\/strong>
\nPush-pull tube amplifier, OTL, Output Transformer Less with two separate channels. One for low frequencies 20 \u2013 300 Hz and one for higher frequencies 300 \u2013 16.000 Hz. 55dB of negative feed-back.
\nAmplifiers located inside the cabinet.
\nOutput tubes<\/strong>
\nTwo pairs of EL86
\nOutput power<\/strong>
\n10 \u2013 12 watts per channel (high freq. and low freq.).
\nPrinciple<\/strong>
\nThree way bass reflex. Active bi-amplified speaker with level adjustment for the low frequencies for adjustment to the room.
\nWoofer<\/strong>
\nPeerless 10 inch, 800 ohms.
\nMidrange<\/strong>
\nPhilips 9710AM, 800 ohms
\nTweeters<\/strong>
\n4 Pcs. Peerless MT20HFC driven by a transformer with air gap.
\nPrices:<\/strong>
\nNew: No info.
\nSecond hand: Very few speakers change hands so indicating a market value is difficult. The technical design is somewhat less developed compared to the more modern OA-6 Mk I. On the other hand the aesthetics and the fact that it is so rare should compensate for this, so in all the prices are probably similar to the OA-6 Mk I.
\nThis would indicate that the price range could start at 4.500 SEK for a pair that is not restored up to perhaps 16.000 SEK for a pair that has been restored and upgraded fully with new tweeters, over-hauled bass- and midrange speaker, new internal wiring and with serviced amplifiers equipped with new tubes.<\/p>\n
