I have a straight back in my 53 and just came upon the slant back, I had the speaker reconed but that didn't cure the problem.
Thanks,

Around here you can buy them at Walmart for about $15. I have several if you are stuck. I think most of the specialty vendors carry them but I don't know the price. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 422 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 422 | truckernix, have you actually used one of these speakers in a slant back AD radio and it worked? It is my understanding that the speaker in a slant back is different than a straight back, not just in shape but, internal workings. If you have one and it will work in a slant back, I want it!

there is nothing special about the speaker in either radio. I have used the new speakers in several slant back versions. The difference between the two radios with regards to the speakers is that there is less depth for a speaker to fit in the straight back version. The original spaeakers had a magnet with a smaller diameter but the new speakers that I have seen have a much larger magnet and the frame of the speaker, being at a different angle will not fit inside the straight back version. However, Denny Graham was able to make a new speaker from one of the vendors fit into a straight back model.
By the way, what was the problem that you experienced with your speaker after it had a new cone installed?
