Help with I.D. of 60's speakers....

[saltwater]

Another craigslist add, went and looked at them. Old man said he had them for years. I was originally hoping for a 2 way vintage speaker. But got a speaker full of realistic drivers. Also the legs were not always mounted like they are in the pic, they were orig longways. ( he moved them)

Theres was one Jensen horn in one. Which leads me to believe they are jensen, but can anyone for sure I.d them.

Also maybe point me in a direction of finding suitable drivers to put in them?

It is a ported box.

I doubt they were factory built cabinets, although I really can't tell much from the picture. Many DIY speaker builders used Realistic drivers and Jensen horns. It was common.

Wha???

Dude, I don't have a clue. Is that a 2x8" configuration with no tweeter? 2x6"? Are there coaxial drivers (full-range) in there?

Here is some pictures fellas. looks like a 8" and a 6" driver would work, or what they did for the horn.

Heathkit SS1s
Usually had a Jensen C8R (?) and Jensen RP-103 horn.

With my minimalist attempt at research, it does kind of resemble a Heathkit ss1. None the less, seems like a decent speaker when made. Wonder if I should try to find the correct drivers.
