This radio is the console type and one of the two speakers was missing. I replaced it with a modern speaker and inserted an appropriately sized resistor to make up for the missing field coil. I'm guessing that the original speakers field coil went bad since there was a speaker installed that hardly had anything left of the cone and did not have the voice coil connected, just the field coil. I also had to replace the audio output transformer and will probably rewind the original next winter.
Both filter caps are 10mfd. The originals had previously been replaced with this size. I recall coming across something that mentioned going from 6mfd to 8mfd and possibly another reference to going up to 10mfd. I decided to go with 10mfd since that is what was installed as a replacement at some time in the past.

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.
