Bizarre - a '53 that's got original caps (meaning it is either going to be a closet queen or need a cap job to be safely playable) and fouling it with a so-called reissue Jensen makes NO sense. It makes me REAL leery.

Any "Vintage" dealer who uses a reissue Jensen in a "restoration" is suspect, considering Jensen isn't the same Jensen of the 50's (it's an Italian company) and the speakers don't even have the same specs as their namesakes - I got a pair of P10Q's that were so heavily doped you could have glued together a coffee table with it! The bought the company name, the speaker names - but the resulting products are simply something completely different.
