LOL...that's a great new way to spell Celestion! Uh, gee, let me think...it's real, right? :lol:

I need to send this to Rick Skillman, I'm sure he'd be amused.

That one, sir, is a fake.

That is awesome!!!! I've seen things like this when I've been in China. There's a huge PA builder in China called JLB, but when you look at the logo on their boxes, you could swear it says JBL! :mrgreen:

It might be vintage but that won't make it a Celestion!

As I thought .. it is a fake speaker ..

When saw it first, I thought.. these are the speaker from marshall cabinet during mid 70's until 1982..
I know these G12-80 only have little bit info on Net..

then.. later.. having a feeling.. "something strange" with that "Celestion" and "Rollar" Celestion typo ..
:lol:

Thank you All for your help .. !

I'd stick my neck out and say all those spelling mistakes are deliberate so as to avoid getting in trouble. Those that don't speak particular good English could make the mistake and buy them though. I dare say this is Chinese mass produced crap.
So I like purple, okay!!!!!!
