Take a look here:

I paid $120 Canadian for mine. U.S. prices are around $112 U.S..
Not sure what they would be in pounds, probably around 100.

Personally, I wouldn't touch vintage speakers with a 10 foot pole.... I'd rather have a new Celestion Vintage 30- older speakers are tired- those cones have gone back and forth who knows how many times- and probably need a recone- so just get new speakers that sound great to begin with. I have two old Marshall cabs with original greenbacks, an Orange cab with original Eminence, and another Orange that I retrofitted with Vintage 30's. The Orange with the V30's is the best sounding cab out of all of them. If I had the $$$ I'd load them all with V30's. But I don't so there you go...

Celestions in England ought to be a LOT cheaper than what we pay for them here in the states- although I have seen V30's for $89 somewhere- might be Manny's in NYC. billy

Or are you talking about actual Orange speakers as opposed to Celestion. I've seen some but they're hard to find.

Orange speakers? I'd be shocked to find that they actually made any speakers when Celestion/ Fane/ eminence are so available. Maybe you saw some that just had an Orange label pasted over the magnet. Very common practice amongst amp manufacturers- Marshall did it too but they never made a speaker. I've never heard that Orange made any speakers ever. But who knows.... Billy
