The Fine Things are Always Hand Made

tasman cabinet

can anyone help with my tasman cabinet,

my allwave 15 has had a pm speaker fitted at sometime and I would like to fit the original, the cabinet seems to have a baffle plate fitted with the speaker mounted, there are pencil marks marking out the screw holes but now shadows or holes where the original speaker was, I don't think this baffle is correct and before I begin removing any parts I was wondering if anyone can mail me a couple of photos of an unmolested cabinet showing how things should be

thanks

The Scott Allwave Fifteen (AW-15) came with a 12 inch pedestal auditorium speaker. Scott tag made by Jensen.

I have rebuilt he original jensen speaker, the cabinet has a baffle plate that I didn't think was original to the set,

this afternoon I decided to remove the speaker and found that in the past another baffle has been fitted over the old, simple job to remove this, the pedestal speaker is now fitted,

Cabinets I have usually have a solid wood (not plywood) baffle made of about 1 inch thick wood like spruce. About the size of the available area below the receiver shelf. Screwed to the cabinet front. For a 12 inch speaker, about 10 1/2 " diameter. The cabinet bottom often appears to be the same wood stock.
