I can't find any data on a Eminence Legend that's 8". Their 10" and 12" are rated for around 75 to 80 watts. Eminence does make an 8" under the Patriot model... and that's rated for 20 watts.
Just so happens, that last week I got the chance to do some "freshening-up" on my friends 1971 Fender Champ. I replaced the stock 2-prong AC cord with a 3-pronger. Therefore, I disconnected the "death" cap, too. I also replaced the stock Mallory 40-20-20 multi filter cap with a new one by CE Manufacturing. Replaced the 3 white electrolytic caps that are seen in the above pic, with semi new ones. The old ones have drifted up in values; the stock 25uF's measured over 35uF's, the 2uF was measuring about 3.7uF. Ironically, I had my friend listen to the amp while I temporarily installed 3 different cap values to that 2uF 2nd bypass cap, that's coming off of the second half of the V1 preamp tube (the middle white one). A 2.2, a 3.3, and a 4.7uF that actually measured 5.3uF. Guess what? We both agreed that the 5.3 sounded the best of all. Also replaced the faulty On/Off switch. Also discovered that the nuts securing the original Oxford speaker were not snugged at all. They came loose with just my finger strength. Well, the amp is 46 years old! Cleaned the 3 pots and tube sockets, too.
I'm not sure which part made the biggest difference, but what an amazing difference it was for the better. I'm so surprised and impressed by the sound of this amp. I have so much more respect for the little blackface and silverface Fender Champ. I wish I had one now.
In this pic, I have not replaced the 2uF cap yet. In fact, the Fender factory installed 2x 1uF's in parallel... probably cuz they didn't have any 2uF's in their parts inventory... ha ha!
