Newbie on how to test speaker.
#1

I don’t know how to test a vintage radio speaker. I have read of a “click test” with a 9 volt battery but I don’t know how to do it. I have Stromberg Carlson 62 speaker that I want to test. I have no idea as to where to place a 9 volt battery to do the test. Also I’m unsure as to where to place my multimeter probes when testing a speaker or what the approximate ohm readings should be, to indicate it’s good, if I test using my multimeter. 

I recently started up this hobby and I realize for all you folks this is elementary but with no electronics background, no vintage radio clubs to join or attend because of Covid, my education has been limited to youtube videos or forums like this one. I have read some of the old radio instruction books but back in the ‘30’s when they were written there were no 9 volt batteries or modern digital multimeters.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
