15" excursion rattles

[Sweet Pete]

Here's a D-130F 8 OHM.
Secured with five fasteners.Notwithstanding the 122 middle back cover and 147 amp.
Looks like it's been in there for a long time.Bottom's out,paper on wood.
Awful is my only description.
Once a Jensen 16 OHM is back in there it might behave better?

Dusty 147 missing output selector dial,still has factory Tung-Sol 6550's.Appears to be an original can cap too.
Actually sounds fine until the woofer draws too much current. V21 sounds great so far.
Out of balance load not behaving,the X-over simply can't handle an 8 ohm 15" without moving the x-over frequency.
Will clean it up and install Jensen P15LL?

Here's hoping.Funny the D130F-8 sounds just fine in the place of a 4 OHM load in a 760?

It really isn't a surprise to get a 147 amp and a 122 middle back cover.
Matches up with the opposite,like that pair of socks....

Pete I had an 8 ohm E140-8 in a 760. Just tweak the amp balances and away you go. They were supposed to have a spacer ring on them when used in a Leslie. I found an mdf ring cheap on eBay. That being said I prefer the stock sound these days ;-)

The JBL D130F is the full-range version of this speaker, designed for lead guitar. For extended highs, it has a low-mass edgewound aluminum voice coil, even-hung, the coil the same height as the gap.

The D140F is the bass version with a heavier copper voice coil.

You could sell the D-130F to a guitar player with a Fender Showman, in which they were original equipment. Their extended high-frequency response is somewhat wasted with an 800Hz crossover, which becomes a 400Hz crossover with an 8Ω driver.

I recently reconed a 1971 D120F, which is a very tricky recone to get right.

A Vibroverb or Steel Guitar amp or Showman or Concert would benefit a little sparkle so yeah,will try and steer it that way.
This P15LL will make all the difference.

Tested the box with a fresh P15LL. Love it. Hardwood baffles November 1967 '3337'.Cleaned and adjusted hanging off a really sweet 1961 A100(7514).
Found the control knob for the output selector buried in the bottom,the usual 50 years of dust.
The A100 reverb (AO35) is fed through a 47 ohm resistor and mixed with the AO39 to a '26-1' Leslie plug box which has no 5 pin plug.
It's been 'hard wired' instead,which in this app is fine by me.
Checked the wiring,it's all fine.
This rig(A100/147) is ready to do a recording.Can barely hear it running, no bad hums.

A JBL D130F-8 has become available.
