My Philco 38-7 Console Project - Electronic Questions
#2

A good source to get speakers reconed and voice coils replaced is Sound Remedy in NJ. His email is
soundremedy@aol.com

I'd give you the website but my antivirus is currently blocking it as bad so I would simply email him for prices, timing etc. A number of folks here on the Phorum have used him successfully.

I'm not the best guy to give advice on speakers but I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do. If you want to use the original speaker but without the field coil I think it will be difficult to make it work properly. Based on the picture in the For Sale section it appears the spider on the voice coil is damaged as well as the cone. The field coil provides the magnetic field that the voice coil operates within. Without the magnetic field you would have to add a permanent magnet somehow and getting the right set up might be difficult. If you are not going to use the original radio chassis anyway I would just put in a modern speaker of the approximate size you need and be done with it. If I'm misunderstanding things just let me know.
