I'm nearing completion of restoring my 38-116 code 121 chassis, and noticed an odd thing about the speaker that came with this radio. I was checking the resistance of this speaker, and a spare 38-116 code 125 speaker that I have, and found that the one that came with the radio does not match the specs on the schematic. The primary of the output transformer seems to match a 1937 116 that would use 6A3 tubes. The 1938 set uses 6L6 outputs. So what I'm thinking is that somehow, Philco just had some left over 37-116 speakers, and used them in their early 38-116 sets. So, now I'm wondering if I should swap the speaker with the other one that I have that seems to have the correct primary resistance values per the schematic? Or, could it be that the schematic is wrong. Again, my set is a 38-116 code 121.

Thanks,

Frank.
