Wanted: Old 15" woofers, FC or Alnico, e.g., Jensen

Hi--

Looking for a pair of older or vintage-style 15" paper cone woofers. Smaller VC (1-2.5") ideal, like an old pair of alnico Jensens.

Goal is to xover around 1K.

Field coil or Alnico please (no ferrite).

Also not interested in big JBLs, Altec 416s or 515s--no problem with these, but I have some. Would be interested in earlier Altec 803As--the ones without the fabric accordion surround.

16ohm preferred.

Would look at newer stuff too, e.g., Supravox.

Let me know what you have.

I'm in the U.S.

Thanks!
 
I have a pair of Zenith Alnico 15" removed from an old console a while back.
the plan was build a pair of open baffle but too many project.
let me know if this may interest you.

I'll recommend Jensen P15LL's. They are on the bay quite often in the $200/ea range. They usually sell as singles so, try to get the closest production dates and then send off to Miller Speakers for matching cones.

I cross mine over at 1200 with an Altec 32 horn and radian 475's. There are alnico, good down to 30hz and are 99db efficiency.
