A little odd. You may want to check the leads going from the vc to the terminals on the output transformer and hum bucking coil. The wire size is enough that it should fail with some help. If the HB coil is open I'd jumper it out.

Hi terry, Thanks for the reply. Shortly after my post, I took the speaker apart . The voice coil was open. I did find the break and not sure if I can solder it. I'm not sure of the ohms and cant find the value in my schematics . I did find a voice coil at a local old radio repair store that fits , but the ohms may be different. At any rate this is turning into a nightmare. I'm wondering if I can use a more modern speaker with the original speaker transformer??     jeff
