[Jukebox-list] Alnico speakers a must?

[Joey McDonald]

Without a doubt, if they are the original speakers to the juke, have them 
rebuilt.
This topic was discussed briefly last month. I initiated it.
I highly recommed sending them to Neal's Speakers.
http://www.nealspeakerrepair.com/

I just sent 2 15" field coil speakers to be rebuilt.
They were fast, professional, and did a great job.

You will waste a lot of time trying to source a speaker
and probably not be happy with them.
