mudshark Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 i have an old '50s Silvertone Model 1392 amp, which features a perfectly functioning tremolo. The amp works perfectly, but the speaker, I assume original, has just about had it.What would be a good 12" replacement speaker? The amp overdrives wonderfully when cranked and is used primarily for country and rockabilly stuff, with a bit o' bluz thrown in.I would guess the amp's power at about 10 watts. Output tubes are a pair of 6V6's.
Punkavenger Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Easy!Just contact Ted Weber ... He'll fix you up right
Brewmaster Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Rick...for country and blues I would go with something like a Weber 12f150 or, if you want to go a bit cheaper,an Eminence Legend GB128 would be a safe bet. I don't like the Jensen RI speakers, some folks do. If you want to try one, send me your info and I'll send you a C12N that was in my Twin for a couple of years.
cordroad Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 if you want to go a bit cheaper,an Eminence Legend GB128 would be a safe bet. +1 on the Legend. I recall Guitfiddler has 2 for sale on the For sale messageboard.Tim
mudshark Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 cordroad and Punkavenger: thanks, I appreciate it that you took time to respond. i have a Weber, now that I think about it in a Fender Pro Junior that I like a lot; got a good deal on it from somebody on this board, can't remember who just now.Dan: Sent you a PM and thanks.
guitfiddler Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 The GB12's are gone. But I do have an Eminence that appears very similar, that was in an ADA Rocket 10 amp. Appears to be British cone, unseamed, doped edges. I believe it may be 8 ohms, which would be appropriate for an amp running 2 6V6's.It is in excellent shape and I have no plans for it. Give me $30.00 and I'll send it to you, shipping incl. Must verify the impedance first, though. guitfiddler1953@hotmail.com
