40-201 Speaker Wire Colors - Joeztech - 11-27-2013

On the schematic it shows that the wire colors for the field coil from the chassis to the speaker are Blue White and Green White. What are the colors for the speaker voice coil high side (+) and low side (-)? I am going to have to replace these wires as they have become quite cracked and numerous spots have bare wires due to handling while I have worked on the chassis.

I would add that I looked up the color code standards for field core speakers and normally solid green color is used for the + speaker wire and black solid color is used for the - speaker wire. In this set, Philco did not use the standard. The existing wires appear to be yellow? and white, beige or brown - I can't tell.

Joe
