Hammond used these Heppner, Rola, Jensen, and Magnavox alnico speakers as tuned pairs. One speaker would have a ribbed cone and would be voiced for the low end of the organ's tone spectrum and the other one would have a smooth cone and would carry the mid tones. In addition, Hammond used 8 inch and sometimes 4 inch speakers mixed in to really carry the whole spectrum.
These alnico speakers make great guitar speakers, the idea is to follow the tuned pair concept in a 2 x 12 or 4 x 12 cabinet or use the ribbed cones exclusively. The smooth cones arent voiced to carry the guitar's spectrum and can be harsh and brittle without the ribbed to balance them out. These are rated at around 20-25 watts.
