There are better twins out there, but that showman cabinet should sound great (it better at over 100lbs!)

I am going to have a repro fender showman 1X15" cabinet built for a D130F I have sitting around. I originally planned on a tone-ring design, but now I am wondering if a traditional front port or seale ...

Check the connections to and from the reverb tank. I have had problems like you describe from intermittant rca cable connections.

Assuming the speaker is a D130(F)?

Breaking the cone in is not your problem. There are no more recone kits for D130s available. If they say "authentic JBL parts" they are simply reconing it with an E ...

Not sure who plays on this record (see my post in "steel players"), but I love the break on this song, especially the signature lick.

on Jim Lauderdale's Point of No Return album? There is some great playing on this record, with some nice tone as well.

I absolutely love the solo on "Try Not to Be so Lonely"

You've got it mixed up with a super. A quad is indeed a 4x12 twin.

Yes, but my Shobud is metal necked (and a newer one at that) but is still all Shobud in tone. The pickups are about 17Kohms. A twin with the bright switch "on" will make a big difference, ESPECIALLY w ...

I'd just like to add that I am very much a beginner on steel. I haven't been playing long (couple years), my knowledge of the instrument/technique/tone all stink.

Webers tend to be dark speakers in general. Also keep in mind that the calis only have a 2" voice coil, compared to the JBL's 4" coil.

It's a '69.

The drip edge was around from late '67 to mid '69. Actually, the odd thing about my PR is the black lines on the face plate. Normally, they are only on the EARLIEST of silverface amps (67 ...

There is no substitute for the big iron in a twin. The headroom is FAR greater than any deluxe, souped up or not. Ever look at the trannies in a twin...?

Yes, it is a D120F. The 10" equivalent was the D110F.

It is a very tight fit. The frame touches the reverb pan, and one of the "spokes" clears the output tranny by about 4 mm.

Plus the aluminum dome lets people know you mean business...

JBL is indeed the way to go. I put a D120F in my '69 PR, and I it is absolutely fantastic. Much better than previous 10"ers I had tried, including a couple Webers.

Webervst will do recones of JBLs. They only charge $60, but I haven't heard anything about the quality.

I recently sold a grey frame orange (fender) labeled BLOWN D120F on ebay for $100 +ship.

The frame was very clean.

There is big demand for these speakers, even if they need rebuilding.

What codes are on the back of the cone? Also, is the surround doped with a bunch of sticky stuff?

I play a shobud through a twin, and the only effect I ever use (other than the amp's reverb) is a delay pedal. I have an old boss DM-2 analog delay set for a short repeat to simulate some room ambienc ...
