The bought the company name, the speaker names - but the resulting products are simply something completely different.

Not to defend the seller, but I just put a Weber into my tweed Deluxe... when I bought it in ? '84 or so, it had a replacement Jensen in it, with an odd thing: a 2" long, 1/4" dia. machine screw sticking straight out the ceramic magnet. For what?? as a hangar for cords? I dunno. Anyways, while the speaker is plenty old, it never sounded all that great to me, so I went with a Weber.
Just pointing out that when it comes to 50+ y.o. amps, odd things happen, and sometimes they happened way in the past. But yeah; in this case, not the best speaker choice...
BTW the auction is up over $1400, so my faith in humanity is somewhat restored
