Hi, found two of these today... 8 ohms and they work, albeit quite trebly. They were quite dry and I gently cleaned them with a damp cloth.

If you recognize what they are, please post. I do not believe they are intended for a guitar amp.

The cone looks like all of my old Jensens so I'd guess it's at least 50 years old, but I have no idea who made that one.

Thanks Cliff, Jensen? I must put this in a cab and listen for real.

Any tips on re-conditioning a cone.. this one is quite dry.

Thanks Ange

No but I'm all ears! My old ass Jensens I'm pretty sure are of 50's vintage and I'd love to put them to use but I'm afraid of cone cracks and tears as well.

What are the numbers printed on the backof the cone?

EDIT: Looks like 914450, does not match anything here: http://www.webervst.com/codes.html or here http://www.webervst.com/morecode.html

If it's a Jensen, it should read 220XXX

The cone won't likely have a manufacturer's EIA code on it. There might be one somewhere on the frame -- maybe underneath that black whatever-the-hell-it is.

Looks like an alnico, so probably 50s. I don't think there's anything useful you can do to recondition a cone. Just store them in air that is neither to moist nor too dry, sort of then same as for an acoustic guitar. Cracks in the cone can be mostly sorted out with a bit of tissue paper dampened with white glue.
