If the repairman knows the number of turns, gauge, and core wire specs of your speaker, chances are the speaker can be restored.
The problem with reconing is the different weights of all speaker cones. Not very easy to replace, if your goal is to restore the speaker to its original sound.
++1 . If your goal is just to have a working, decent speaker at a minimum price, then a rewind/recone can't be beat.
Tawaran mo pa yung jensens. Personally, I'd snatch them if he gave it at 1,000 a pair. You'd have to consider na medyo basura na yun in that state, and that you can get local instrument speakers for less than 2,000 bux. 18", 180 Watts na yun. Cheaper pa pag mas maliit.
Wait...I found my CEdist catalog...Jensen came out with a new line of low-cost drivers. The 70 watt version costs $36 apiece. The 120 watts cost $50 apiece. This is for the "Mod" line.
Wow look at this. Jensen sells vintage Jensen recone kits, they range from 21 dollars to 46 dollars. Recone kit pa lang, kasing mahal na ng buong driver !
Try mo na lang yung recone/rewind. It's the best you can do short of buying a new speaker. Very cheap pa, less than P200 lang ang operasyon na yun.
