I should clarify...when I said it took me about 20 years to find a matching speaker for my 19TX control unit, I was not exaggerating as I sometimes do for humorous effect. It was, literally, a 20 year wait!
That's how hard it can be to find those Philco speaker cabinets.
I wouldn't be surprised if several were "repurposed" into early hi-fi/stereo speaker cabinets, and then tossed when the novelty wore off. The same thing is going to happen to the radios that are being destroyed in order to be made into touch screen iPod-thingies. Once the novelty wears off (and computer standards change), these, too, will end up getting tossed to the trash heap.
So, anyway, Greg...you were very lucky indeed to find the matching pair.
