Speaker ID - supposedly Jensen?

Post by johnnyreece »

A couple years ago, I inherited a hoard of vintage speakers. I'm slowly sorting through them. However, I ran across a couple speaker baskets with just a cone; no voice coil nor magnet. The information says they're a "Jensen D-15", but they're 8" and have a strange basket pattern: there are five spokes in the basket with five corresponding mounting holes. I've attached a file from the website of the person I got them from, but I can also take more pics, if necessary. Anyone know what these are?

Well, should have spent some more time on Google...Apparently they're Australian! From the 30's!

I am finding more info in Australia on certain things.

Rola Australia catalogs with almost too much data are online, and mention building under license from USA. Ohio, I guess, but I found Rola Australia easily. Maybe Australians are better data hoarders.

I see in the photo someone attached that Jensen is described. I don't know if Jensen found Australia a tempting enough market to set up shop, or just distribution there.
