Philco 40-201 Restoration Journal
#10

I've got the both antenna connected per the schematic. I marked the wire color on the lugs before I removed the radio from the cabinet. As reconnected the numbers impressed on the connections match the numbers and wire colors on the schematic. so I feel good about the connection. The sound is better and the volume is fine. The sound, however, is still scratchy or buzzy. Although the speaker is working I'm not sure if it's working well.

Anyone know how or what makes a good test speaker? I figure eight ohms is good but I'm lost where to find a replacement other than taking one out of my 38-9.
