Seems a little high, don't you think? However, those old small magnet CTS speakers do sound pretty sweet. I have a similar speaker in my custom 'Zoo marked Gibson. After I received it I planned to swap out the speaker, have a couple of 10" Webers on the shelf. I never found a reason to do it, great tone.

I hardly think the speaker is worth $129. Plus $10 shipping. I have also owned a couple of zoos with that same speaker. It is an OK speaker that I would not pay more that $35 for. Not only that, but it is a reconed speaker. No longer original in any way. It would be interesting for Greg the Zoo man to weigh in with his opinion. Gregg has more experience with Kalamazoos than most (or anyone).

It would pay to get the harmonica tester to test the wood harmonica. All that's needed is a finely priced amp for the speaker.

I dunno that I'd pay quite that much for a CTS, despite me being a 'Zoo lover. But if the original one in mine blew, I might go for that as a replacement. Try to keep it as close to its original specs as possible.
