Grandma's Kalamazoo

On a video somewhere deep in the site I heard you mention your Kalamazoo Model One originally belonged to your grandmother. Very fortuitous as they're great harp amps. On the video the amp has an original 10 inch CTS speaker just like the one in my amp. My question, and it's purely out of idle curiousity, concerns Jam Tracks & Soloing Concepts 3 where you mention Mitch Kashmar played through your Kalamazoo Model One with a 10 inch Jensen that replaced the original 8 inch speaker. Is this the same amp? How many speaker changes has it had?
You do your homework SmokeJS! That was a different amp... it was one I bought from someone who already made the change. The speaker was really shoehorned in there, it had a really large back housing. I sold that amp many years ago, I'm sorry I can't share any more specific details, but I do have the buyer's contact info... I'll email him and ask. My grandmother's Kalamazoo has not been altered, besides having it serviced (by Skip Simmons) and he put in a line-out.
