My son bought me a crosley model oc3q chassi 95. Ifound the schematics . Would like to see a photo of this set . Can not find one .
Needs to be refinished. All so need knobs and speaker. Any info please.
Thanks Kent.
I don't think you have the model number. No Crosleys in my book start with "o" and no model 95 either. A photo of the front of the set should be enough for someone to identify it.
http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/crosley_03cq.html There are four set with o as first letter. Chassi is #95
Thanks Kent.
Here are the sets 02cb , 02ca, 02cp, 02cq, 0c3a, 0c3b, 03cc, 03cp, and 03cq. Took me awhile to find this.
On this set 03cq chassi # 95 . Can i use new type speaker ? The old one has the transformer on it .
I know this is not a PHILCO . But need some help .
Thanks Kent. Icon_biggrin
A modern speaker should work just fine. Just make sure that you have the correct impedance speaker and sub a high wattage resistor for the field coil. If you have the schematic, they usually have an impedance value for both the field coil and speaker voice coil, or just measure the old one (if the coils are not open).
Thank you motorola man. Icon_biggrin

I wish! They usually only show DC resistance.
You're probably looking for something around 2-5 Henrys @ 100ma if you wanted to use a choke to replace the field coil from the original spkr. If you use a power resistor I'd double up on the capacitance of the filters as you won't have any inductane in the resistor to smooth out the AC ripple.

Ps Hi how you making out?
Thanks Terry. Making it slowly but surely . I repaired the speaker almost like new. Took a coffee filter sprayed contact cement on it and the speaker
smoothed them out over the tears can not hardly tell it was tore . Then painted it flat black. Pretty neat trick. Have five sets now still going .
Learning SLOWLY . You doing alright. Icon_biggrin
