Philco 112 speaker to permanent magnet
#13

Yes.

Quote:B) Replace the field coil with a 3.2 K resistor? If so what wattage?

Yes. The formula P = I squared * R will find your total wattage. In this case, we know from the speakers.zip file that the original speaker was rated at 40 mA (0.04 A) of current and has a DC resistance of 3200 ohms. So,

(0.04 * 0.04) * 3200 = 5.12

You'll want to double that for safety, so a minimum 10 watt resistor is indicated to replace the field coil. Personally, I would go with 25 watts as that resistor is going to run very hot, but that's your call.

Quote:C) Increase the 2nd Electro cap from 6uf to 12 uf?

10 uF is probably enough, but you can go with 12 if you wish - and if you can find one. It's easy to find 8 and 10 uF capacitors, but not so easy to find 12 uF.

For both input and output electrolytics, I would replace with film for longevity.

Quote:D) Do I have to do anything with the filter choke?    am I on the right track here ?

No, you leave the filter choke alone and leave it in the circuit.
