OK this may have been gone over before but I'm new to the Philco Phorum I have a 1930 Transitone auto radio my speaker is beat- needs to be reconed and the coils are open, this speaker is very similar ,design wise, to the old Atwater Kent cone speakers of the 1920's ,magnet and pin, high impedance , the cone is the heavier material than newer speakers and is quite shallow anyone got Ideas?
