Please forgive my ignorance in advance. I have picked up a Philco 296 which I am in the earliest stages of learning to restore. The first and most obvious problem is the speaker is trashed. The paper is gone and the center voice coil is trashed. The speaker is a Model H, but can it be replaced with another Model? I have learned that the Model H is a 3200 Ohm speak operating at 40ma.(I think...) Is there another Philco speaker that I can replace this one. I see a Model G on EBAY with the same plug, but I am not sure if this would work. I have much to learn. Any suggestions? Thank you for any help.
