Congrats on the chassis restoration, Ron! Another important piece of history saved!
Unfortunately, the spider (or lack thereof), reminiscent of the Philco 20 speaker probably detracts from the sound.
I remember finding one of these speakers (without the radio) at the local landfill as a kid in the 1960s. I didn't keep it due to the condition, but I did realize that it was from the very early 1930s. It was not common to find real early radios in our landfill, as the large majority of the houses in Huntington Township were built in the mid 1950s (Although I did find a 1929 Radiola 62 chassis once). My friend did find a Scott Philharmonic that I fixed for him. He moved away, and I lost contact. I don't know if he still has it.
