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.

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.

+1 on the Legend. I recall Guitfiddler has 2 for sale on the For sale messageboard.

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.

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.
