Yours are probably a lot less tempremental and easier to maintain I'm sure :oldgrin:

I think it's just a G12, early 60s 25W alnico speaker, T0652 - one of these guys:

I bought a pair of these cabs with a matching 4xEL84 amp in the early days of uk ebay. Later sold the amp and the second cab. Great speaker, cute cab - more pics here

Ahh that's a T0652 or T652. 15W that went in the Marshalls and Selmers.
Shame, if you still had that cab we could have discussed a deal. I miss my T652

1959 Gibson GA-83S with 5 speakers. One 12 inch and on the sides>2 8 inch speakers. All original Jensens. Sounds amazing. Great tremolo. Plug in a stereo guitar and tremolo goes back and forth, swirling around, when engaged. Also give one the option to simply play through the one center speaker. But really sounds cool when all speaks are chosen. :crackjam: Not many of these around. Didn't make many to begin with. Sometimes the Hollywood vintage room has gems. A kid in a candy store like that just can't refuse. :headbanger: :drool2:
