Me too and while I've never dealt with Rick Mish I've heard nothing but 
this higest praise for his R-390 restoration work.  My point would be 
that these were advertised as "* LS-206 A/U Matching R-390A speaker 
panels"  No details of construction are given, only the pictures.    I 
have a genuine LS-206 A/U made by Crosley and the rear housing is most 
definitely NOT cardboard.   I think it's fair to conclude that a 
reproduction would be made of simlar (modern)  materials and 
construction to the original, which would mean the rear housing should 
be a simple metal box, not some inferior material like cardboard.    The 
photos speak for themselves.

Had they been billed as "Rack Mounted Dual Speaker" without the 
implication they were a repro,  that would be a different story.
