Hi all,
Just wondering if any one has any Rola 8 inch speakers
Am after replacements for the Philips Warehouse speakers I have
the originals are weathered and have many fractures around the suspension.

Ah yes should have thought of that!
Any impedance is fine as have a wide variety of 100 volt trannys
Also the dont have to be identical or even if 2 people have 1 each!!

Should not be a problem with 8 Inch, just about every larger speaker box chucked into the junk had one.

Am hoping so, the existing cones are so brittle 1 good sneeze would finish them.
I have come across MSP's in the late 60s and Magnavox in the 70's in a lot of speakers as well.
