Now, the speaker:

There's clearly something missing from the central bit of the speaker, that the other two wires probably connected to. d**n it. Anyone able to help me on this? (I'm really starting to sour on eBay shopping... gota ferret out some local sources.)
Are you certain that the speaker isn't a PM dynamic of some sort? Sometimes the electrodynamic and PM dynamics were almost identical aside from the field and hum bucking coils. I have a chassis and speaker from a Philco 40-180 (or the Canadian equivalent I think) but it has a pin cushion shaped basket/frame not a round frame. You could always substitute a PM dynamic from an older cabinet stereo and add a choke. On the other hand the unit that came with the radio could be made to work. If you really want an original type speaker I would place an ad on the Antique Radio Forums classified forum as well as the one on here, something will turn up.
Best Regards
Arran
