I have a 42-340 that I've been working on. I replaced all the rubber wiring underneath, as well as the paper and electrolytic capacitors. It looks great. Now, the only thing remaining before I am able to fire it up is to repair/replace the speaker. It is a 4 x 6 field coil speaker. Philco part number 36-1543-9. Does anyone have a replacement speaker, or know of a reputable place to recone it? The cone and voice coil are totally gone. I've also read around about replacing with a perm magnet speaker, but I'd rather keep it quasi-original.
Thanks,
Russ
