Two Suitcase Questions

[Phathead]

Hello,

I'm restoring a 1977 suitcase Rhodes 73.

Somewhere along the way, the back speaker baffle (audience facing) was removed and replaced with a solid piece of plywood. The player facing baffle, along with two original speakers, is still intact.

Question 1:

Does anyone have measurements for where to cut the speaker holes? Or info on how the baffle is constructed?

Question 2:

I've got a couple of old 15" JBL speakers on my shelf. Would using them be a worth trying? Or should I stick with 12" speakers?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

P

15" speakers will not fit in the bottom cabinet.  I tried.

Ah well. There goes that dream.

Thanks for the info!
