Be extra careful when soldering leads to a vintage Jensen speaker. On most popular models, the solder terminals are isolated from the speaker frame by a thin fiber washer. I often see excess solder bridging the gap between terminal and frame. This will cause an odd fuzzy tone or make the speaker completely dead, so look closely at those terminals!
