Who collects vintage speakers?

Hello people!!

I've been playing guitar since 1967.

Over time, I've picked up quite a few guitar speakers (mostly 12", some 10").

I haven't bought a new speaker in years.

I just like the tone and "character", that some of these old speakers bring to the table?

My favorite old-timer, is a Norwegian-made DNH guitar speaker, that I have in an Earcandy Boa 1 x12 cabinet.

Other speakers include:

Rola, Utah, CTS, Oxford, Jensen, Cleveland, Heppner, Magnavox, Eminence, Goodmans, Wharfedale, Telefunken, etc.

Some were made as guitar speakers, others came out of old consoles.

With the usual mixture of Alnico and ceramic magnets.

On my rare gigs, and getting rarer (arthritis), I drag around a 2 x 10 cab, with the old-style CTS square-magnet ceramic speakers.

Thanks for your patience in reading this post.

I found a pair of 1964 Jensen P10R's in a set of Sears Silvertone stereo speakers at a flea market. The 10" speakers were the woofers, and each cabinet also had a 6" and 3" driver.

 

Jensens can also be found in military gear, particularly movie projector/record player/P.A. sets made by DeVry.
