Update on 38-5 restoration, Almost ready for cabinet!
#2

Here's some speaker data that might be helpful to you...LINK. You want the speakers.zip file. Its found in the download section of the Phorum.

It will tell you that you need a K39 speaker for the tabletop 38-5B cabinet while the console uses an H29 speaker. The K39 is an 8" speaker. The data for the output transformer, field coil etc. are in the spreadsheet.

looking on oldradioparts.com (part# 4696-748 ) in the radio parts, speakers section it looks like he has a possible candidate but part of the description says "pp open,v" which might mean voice coil or the output transformer is open . Otherwise I "think" it might do the job as it appears to be a K34 which is probably close enough. (Terry, help me out here... Icon_biggrin )

Put an Wanted Ad in the Phorum and you might get lucky with someone who has one sitting on their bench and you can keep an eye on ebay as various speakers come up from time to time or a junker chassis/speaker.

just something to ponder...
