I've just bought a Philco FT-9 121 autoradio - originally for Ford V8 1936, but I may use it in my European Ford Model C in stead.
It looks complete except I have no original speaker. I can't believe it should be a big deal to find one and buildin somewhere in the car. What impedance shouldit have? 8 Ohms? 4 Ohms? I believe speakers in the old days where more like 4 Ohms where they today are typically 8 Ohms.
Anything else to look after before I fire it up? I have a reliable 6V source like a lead acid battry, so no hazard there by using some powersupply or batterycharger :-)
Any advice are welcome!
