Philco 45C speaker replacement
#16

Ok, I connected 2 ceramic 10W resistors in series across the wiring to the field coil, one was 600 Ohms the other 500 ohms, resistance total measured 1109 ohms, first I connected a 6 ohm 40 w speaker to the red and black leads from the output transformer, it is playing, although sound was fairly distorted, then I connected a 4 ohm 2-way car speaker at 40 W and sound was a lot better, although distorting at higher volume, after playing for a half hour i checked the temp of the resistors and either resistor was over 80F and there is absolutely no hum!.  I am very close here, I'm thinking a 2 ohm 20 W speaker would probably sound the best?  thoughts?
