Radio Shack contracted with a lot of companies to make their stuff. Sound, phones, answering machines, toys.
I worked there in the waning days of RS. I think it was Hamas that worked there in the better days. |

Well shit, the image search turned up better results than any other search I've done on them.
Apparently they are 5 1/4", Amazon used to have a direct replacement but they're no longer available. But looky here... https://www.parts-express.com/dayton...eaker--295-303 I may just pull the trigger on these. |

Not to be negative, but why rebuild Radio Shack speakers? You can get good stuff on Craig's List. Get some Polk, Infinity, JBL or Klipsch.

As I mentioned earlier, they're a unique speaker, if they didn't have the ribbon tweeter I wouldn't bother. Just for fun basically.
