The area where I grew up had three Rodgers installations in the early 70's. The church with the 2m instrument had pretty fantastic sound. The organist had added speakers over time to increase the sound dispersion in the room. He was most proud of the the very large bass speaker up in the balcony at the rear of the church, I am pretty sure it was the P2 you talk about, it was as big as an office desk. this instrument when installed was the largest 2m that was made, even had a couple of 32's in the pedal and that speaker let you know they were there.

I just opened our church organ. Rogers about 1980.

Imagine if the company had been named Tinker Organs after Fred Tinker. ;)
A home customer of mine has a P2-U (in his home) attached to his Rodgers 330T.
You are probably aware that a heavily modified 33E resides in Don Leslie's home.
16:38 That appears to be an early M13 with Pyle S69C100-12(M) loudspeaker drivers, before the advent of the 1580-026 w/Whizzer cone or the RS 40-1265.
There are photos of Virgil Fox standing next to an H1 with Black Beauty (I believe). The person I work with has an H1 in storage with his 330D.

There are new replacements for the 1580-026 / RS 40-1265 available, manufactured by Misco.

I just picked up a complete W-6 100 and I’m wondering what sort of 15” speakers it’s running. They look like alnico, and they have the serial number “1580035” on the magnet and below that “6 7817”. Are they JBLs like the tweeter? What sort of wattage would they be?
