| | | | Have you plugged into it? Does it sound good? Do all speakers work?
It'll be hard to identify for sure, so make sure you test it thoroughly. |

What are you going to use it for?
Bi-amp it with a 15 sub should do it. |

Acoustic and Sunn also used them. i have a couple of of Sunn CTS 12's that look exactly like them.
IMO, the cab in question looks like an old acoustic more than anything else. I'm not sure that they use that type of handles on the sides though.
here's a pic of a 6x10 acoustic 104 with the vented CTS speakers: 
univox used them too:

You needed to step up to JBL, EV, Altec, Gauss and the like to get high quality drivers prior to roughly 1980. They used vented caps because they didn't have vented pole pieces, which were used only in high end drivers in those days. Today you see vented pole pieces in most drivers.
