Magnavox Horns 580053 vs 580053-1 vs 580088-1

Post: # 30756Post dougp59 »

My 1958 Fantasia was originally equipped with 580053 horns according to the AMP schematic.
I see 580053-1 for sale on eBay. ChatGPT says those are circa 1960.

Does anyone have info on these? Are they identical in specs?

My console NOW has 5800881-1 horns from later in the 60s. On the green plastic caps, someone wrote 12 ohms for each.

Q: Should I 'roll back' and get a pair of the older horns even though these sound fine?
