I'm working on a slant front model 39-30 and found that someone replaced the original FC speaker with a permanent magnet. The resistor they used in place of the FC seems way too much.... it's a 10K resistor. What should the FC measure on a 39-30? I'm not finding it on the schematic.

As it stands I'm only getting the local station through faintly at full volume. Going to check voltages tomorrow night but am wondering if that large resistor could be at least part of the trouble.
