Questions on Model 20 cabinet/speaker
#3

Thanks for your reply, Kirk.  I appreciate it.
It's taken me some time to become familiar with the uniqueness of these speakers.

I don't think I necessarily need a "restored" one.  At the prices you cite (and I believe you, especially for the restored one, I presume that cuts down on hum and other issues), I have very little room left before I can just buy a restored radio outright, so I guess I'm just down to boxing this chassis up and storing it for a hypothetical rainy day.

I just thought I'd check.  I thought the speakers and cabinets would both be (considering how many 20's were made) both ubiquitous and inexpensive.

To pull a Vonnegut line out of retirement:  "So it goes".  I'm better off to know what I'm looking at upfront.

If anyone has some unwanted overstock, I have a good place they could call home.

Best Regards to everyone.
