Hi Steve,
What a great way to start the new year![Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm..._crazy.gif] I'm not sure if you can press the pole out of the speaker that you have to remove the fc. I've never tried it. It may be welded at the rear (bad) or press in (good). All that is if you wanted to rewind it. That rear assembly does come off but the cone has to come out beforehand.
Now if you are a real glutton for punishment some have rewound the opt using a homemade jig to keep the turns in place. If not I found abt 20 suitable Philco speaker part number/models that at a glance should be a good match. All se 42 output stage and fc fairly close, resistance/current rating. Most popular is the S-7. The 89/19 and model 71's that use a single 8" (K-7) are probably a good choice, they are a pretty popular sets.
I use the speaker zip file to check speakers. I know there's a form of it in the library but I just find this one easier to read.

I've got a couple of rusty 4 tube trf midget cathedral sets from the early '30s. They look a lot like your Philco. I got one working but I wanted to derust it and reassemble. Too many projects not enough time.
Happy New Year!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
