All,
Newbie here. So impressed with the knowledgeable people on this forum. Trying to decide on purchase of Philco 38-2 radio without speaker. Can anyone tell me if a replacement speaker from 38-4 would work in the 38-2? They are slightly different. The output Transformer Pri. for the 38-2 (H32) is 530. Output Transformer Pri. for the 38-4 (H29) is 660. How would using a speaker with a higher Output Trans. Pri. affect operation of the 38-2 radio? Appreciate any insights.

Thanks,
Michael
