Unique Philco cathedral speaker
#4

Yes, Keith -

Philco made and sold that in 1932. It is a Model R-3 extension speaker, made to use with your Philco radio in a separate room or as an extra speaker in the same room as the radio. It had its own volume control. (At least I think it was a volume control. I used to own one several years ago, but don't really remember much about it now.) And, yes, it originally had a very long cord. The only other part inside is a permanent magnet speaker. Small but heavy because of the early PM speaker used.

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
