If it is reconed then yeah obviously we aren't listening to a 1968 Original Pulsonic coned greenback. Johan shows a 1777 number on the back side of the surround which appears as era correct.
I thought it was still a good comparison review regardless. Those Mojotone M and H speakers are impressive considering the prices versus the Heritage prices. I still like my Heritages but if I had another 4x12 to fill I think I would try the Mojotones. I wonder who is actually building them for Mojotone, I didn't find anything online about it.
I found this chart online....it looks like a 68 could have a 1777 number.

You would think Johan would know this before calling it original.......
