  Hi,
I have a Nice National speaker cabinet to go with my NC-183.  The 
original speaker is completely shot (cone, spider etc totally shot) and 
I'd like to replace it with a similar unit (8 Ohms).  I've found a place 
that could probably recone it for ~40.00 plus shipping, but if possible 
I'd prefer to replace it as the basket is a little rusted anyway.

Antique Electronics in AZ USED to have replacement speakers, but now it 
seems that about all they handle are speakers 'voiced' for guitar, etc 
(they have some very nice lines of Jensen, etc for guitar).  There is 
one Jenson that seems reasonably priced (~36.00) but I'm not sure how 
it'd sound for radio reception.  One of the old type speakers that has a 
"whizzer" cone would probably be even better. . .  Does anyone make 
anything like that any longer?

Ideas anyone?
