Re: [Harp-L] Amp Speaker Re-coning Recommendations

[Timothy Kane <hawkeyekane@xxxxxxxxx>]

 "I have an English Tonemaster (Valco) amplifier that I purchased from David Bromberg. It has a 10" speaker with a transformer attached to the speaker cage. The speaker cone paper has what looks like a 3 inch tear in it ( I think maybe I damaged it in transit to a gig)."



From what I've read, the English Tonemaster was pretty much identical to the Supro 1610 Comet. The speaker used was a Utah. But I've never seen a tranny attached to a speaker like that, and I wouldn't try putting a speaker in the amp without it. Reconing it will prove expensive no matter where you take it...have you considered getting a new speaker similar to the Utah and transplanting the transformer onto it?
