Radiobar 528-37-650
#1

My wife and I are attempting to restore a Philco Radiobar model 528.  The chassis is a 650-121.  THe fellow that brought us the radio told me it was his mothers.  Not sure I buy that as the radio is in pretty sad shape and the speaker he brought was out of an older Philco model 87 or 89 that pedestal mounts.  So, my question to the Phorum is:  What is the correct speaker for this radio.  I saw a thread from 2010 that asked a similar question with pictures of the set showing the speaker.  Riders says the correct speaker, depending on chassis, is either a K-17 or a H-13.  Can't find data on either of those.  Any help would be appreciated as I'm into the first phenolic block starting the recap.
