#33 - Billy recones a Jensen speaker C15L (Part 2 of 2)

In this finale I rebuild the 1969 Jensen C15L speaker. Just a little shimming, gluing, soldering, clipping and taping and before you know it, we get a working speaker again.

Reconing is the one thing I have not yet attempted. The L suffix speakers should have been the most robust of the Jensen lineup at the time, IIRC.

Those old Jensens can’t be beat in my opinion. When functioning properly they sound amazing… at least every one I’ve ever tried. I would gladly pay $100 for a reconed 1960’s Jensen that’s gonna last me another 30 plus years over any new speaker replacement. They definitely don’t make ‘em like they used to. It’s crazy that the two best American guitar speakers were both made in Chicago- CTS and Jensen. As a side note the modern day Italian made Jensens are garbage- they don’t sound anything like their vintage counterparts, which is unfortunate.
