JENSEN J1152 4½" midrange for Model 30, other speakers, c.1980—very good cond.

Description

Offered for your consideration is a vintage
Jensen
J1152
4½ inch midrange driver
removed from my Model 30 three-way speakers, USA-made in 1980.  Per the EIA source/date code on the magnet cover, “2207947”, this driver was made by Jensen (220) in the 47th week of 1979.
The J1152 midrange is practically identical to the C9954 mid used in the same-era LS-4b and LS-5b (LS-4 and LS-5 also, I believe) but has a closed basket rear instead of a plastic isolation canister covering an open rear basket.  In any event, buyer is responsible for determining suitability for their intended application.
So, please see my large photos and read the remaining description to decide if this Jensen midrange is correct for your needs.

This Jensen midrange is in clean, very good condition.  The paper cone is flawless and so is the voice coil dustcap.  Plus, the hard plastic flange gasket has no cracks or scratches.  And, the foam surround was Jensen factory-coated for longevity; it will need replacement at some future time but is still going strong after more than 40 years with minimal signs of attrition.
Please note
:  the pictured midrange has a small dab of glue on the surround sealing a tiny crack (that I accidentally caused); it will be the second of the two to be sold.  And, the +/- terminals measure the industry-standard .205”, are marked for polarity, and have never been soldered on the spades.  Overall, this mid driver is quite well-preserved.
Most importantly, it’s been fully tested and sounds great with strong, clear mid-frequency output.  Plus, I tested its DC resistance at 5.6Ω consistent with a nominal 6-8 ohm driver rating.  Lastly, the basket flange measures 4½” diameter, it stands around 1⅜” tall, and the mounting holes are spaced 2¾” adjacent / 3⅞” diagonal apart, c-t-c.
As pictured and described, this vintage Jensen 4½” midrange driver is offered at a competitive price.
