R90 speakers

[stingman]

The original 10" woofer cones have separated from the rims and I would like to upgrade to a better quality speaker than the originals or those I see offered as replacements from the jukebox parts/repair shops.

The R90 amplifier is rated at 130 watts and I assume this is RMS not peak power. The speakers are 8 ohm and there are two 10" and two 5 1/4".

What I don't know for sure, is whether the 130 Watts is total or for each channel or if the R90 is indeed a stereo or mono unit. Early 45 records were all mono but later were all stereo.

What are the ideal wattage speakers I should seek as replacements and does anyone have any experience with having done upgrade this themselves?

Hi Stingman,
Speakers in most jukebox cabinets (including this one) are optimized for the cabinet,as well as the total sound system. That amp is rated by Rowe at a total (both channels) of 130 watts MP, I am almost positive. I would advise you to re-foam, and or re-cone as necessary, the original speakers -- There are re-cone-ers listed our FAQ's section. Ron Rich
