Decent 6-Inch Speakers for Guitar?

I'm looking to beef up an old 1959 Webcor amp (originally for mono phonograph) that was converted for guitar use (1/4 jack; removed tweeter and crossover cap). It's a nice sounding amp with the exception of the oval speaker rattling. Does anyone know of a usable 6-inch speaker that might work well? All of what I find is for stereo reproduction—not sure it would really suit the range of the guitar. Here's an example from the Web:

I've no idea where the best place to buy them is, but Jensen makes their mod series guitar speaker in a 6" version. http://www.jensentone.com/speaker/mod_6_15

I'm pretty sure Celestion do a 6 inch speaker.

This amp has a ridiculously great sounding and loud 6.5" speaker. I doubt you can find the speaker separate through.

Antique Electronic Supply (tubesandmore.com) has the Jensen Mod series. I really like the 8" and just ordered the 5" to go in a funky speaker box I found. I've read reports that the Mod was a step up from the stock speaker in the Roland Microcube.

Does anyone know where to get a good box/cab for a 5" or 6" speaker? I'd like to put something together for my lil watter.
