Checking the local craiglist pays off.

I found a matched set of four Jensen C10Q speakers,

They are from the 24th week of 1967.

When I get these puppies installed, my 1969 SFSR will be more original. :D :D :D

Will report back on how they sound.

HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES!

Clean as a whistle and neat as a pin......like they were owned by the proverbial little old lady who was a neurotic neaknik and only played her accordion through them for morning services each Easter for the last forty-six years.

Rawk on!

Nikola Telsa,

My SFSR does not currently have Jensen speakers installed. When I bought the amp it came with Eminence speakers, made in the 40th week of 1972 (not original to the amp). They sound nice but I've never had an amp with Jensen speakers, so nothing to compare it to.

I will report on how they sound once I get them installed.

Jerry

Not very accurate wording of mine (I speak many languages, thus the blockage sometimes). :lol:

That's what I meant - to compare the new Jensens to the speakers you had in your amp prior to buying Jensens.

I bet the new ones sound very good!

Nice score! Had a pair of those ('67 C10Q) in a Victoria amp that I recently sold... not a very efficient speaker but boy did they sound good in that amp! I didn't have a complete set for my SR, but I tried the pair mixed with a pair of CTS that came with the amp, didn't work at all in my SR. I've got a set of 4 C10P that I've yet to try in that amp though...

Due to age the cones are probably old and tired... don't be afraid to have 'em reconed, they'll sound even better IMO, if done right of course. You can gently tap the cone with your fingers and based on what you hear you can tell if it needs to be replaced. You want to hear a nice thump.
