hi guys!<br /> <br /> i just scored one of these on the bay and i was wondering if anyone had infos on these.<br /> <br /> it looks like a regular mid-60´s Jensen C12Q (black frame, small rectangular silver/blue label). the cone is ribbed as you would expect, but the surrounding (the area where the "doping" would be) is ORANGE, and it appears to be made from a different kind of paper - hard to tell from the pics...<br /> <br /> does anyone know what the "F" in C12QF stands for?<br /> thanks a lot in advance!<br /> <br /> cheers - C. |

carsten;<br /> <br /> i have a couple of jensen C10PF described as you describe your speaker (orange surround).<br /> <br /> i/ve heard said that these speakers came in organ cabinets and sometimes in audio-visual equipment.<br /> <br /> i found this on thegearnet forum:<br /> <br /> The "F" designation means it has the flexaire cone and was used as a stereo woofer. "<br /> <br /> most references also mention that the speaker should be reconed for guitar. |

Yep, hifi stereo stuff is what I was thinking too. |

hi guys!<br /> <br /> thanks a lot for your feedback!<br /> <br /> "...most references also mention that the speaker should be reconed for guitar."<br /> <br /> mh, that´s not exactly what I was hoping to hear ;-)<br /> <br /> <br /> Mick, if you have a couple of 10"´s - do you use them in a guitar-amp? how do they sound?<br /> <br /> <br /> cheers - C. |

carsten;<br /> <br /> i got my first speaker like these, in a BFWK princeton. The amp sound 'OK'. I however spend time and money attempting to find the speaker that makes an amp magical. So I changed the speaker a bunch and now using a amp-maniac, i just really like the '64 with a new weber.<br /> <br /> the speakers are stereo woofers. imagine playing your guitar through your 60s stereo. yeah, it was cool to do that, but did it really sound that good?<br /> <br /> if you need a pair of C10PF i know where you can get a great deal ;-).<br /> <br /> mick |

hi mick!<br /> <br /> thanks a lot for your info!<br /> mh, still not quite what i wanted to hear, though ;-)<br /> <br /> i guess i´ll wait + see how the speaker sounds when it gets here - and unsell/recone if it´s really so bad...<br /> <br /> thanks again - C.<br /> |

Hi guys!<br /> <br /> I just wanted to give a quick report ...<br /> <br /> I got the speaker and gave it a good listen - it was alright, but nothing to write home about. Good, even response, nice sound overall, but I didn´t feel like I really "need" it ;)<br /> <br /> I had a guitar player visit me and he was looking for something like that - he played/heard the speaker and he liked it, so I sold it to him (at a very modest profit) - I hope he´ll enjoy it!<br /> <br /> cheers + thanks again!<br /> <br /> - C. |
