Looking for a Jensen C12n(50w-8ohm) and while I'm looking,
a stovetop knob for an early Frankie and covers
for a Frankie and a 25 combo. Hey, you never know....
Thanks,
Dan

Go to the coldsprings electrical works site, he has tons of NOS speakers, but be ready for about a 200 dollar price tag.
You might concider getting a new one from Jensen.
Antique electronics has both the Jensen drivers and the knobs you need.

Hi Steve,
Couldn'r get into cold springs site. I'm not real sure what wattage speaker to get, I was thinking a 50 but wondered if I could/should go higher/lower in wattage. Maybe the amp (25W) won't drive bigger speakers. Any opinions on this or what type
of speaker I should consider for little beauty? Anyone have favorite speakers for their Kustom combos?
Thanks for any suggestions, that's how you learn.
Dan

The Eminence Screaming eagle model 12" driver is a very close match to a vintage Jensen C12N driver like what would have come in your amp.
It has a bit less top end and so does not get spiky on top like the Jensen can, plus it handles 50 watts and has a SPL rating of 101, this high rating will make it it near twice as loud as the Jensen driver would be.
