I've got a gorgeous pair of Fender-marked '66 Jensen C12N's that will be perfect for one of those small-box Bandmaster cabs (if I ever find one or get around to building a clone).

So should I reuse the particle board baffle or make a nice pine glue up ????

The original is in good condition.

Keep it original -- why make work for yourself?

I ended up going with Weber for their 10A125 Vintage Series AlNiCo 10 inch Speakers, 30 watts each so that I can use it with all my amps save the showman. Would love to find a nice pair of CTS to recone, but didn't want to wait...

Those are the vintage-correct replacement fasteners.

Good choice, BB.
