>>This landed in my lap

Given the weight of these, that should've hurt...


Having dealt with four of this generation radios (86, 96, 111 and 112) I have also encountered these issues.

The field coil is the worse of the two. Very few people rewind these, and myself I do not do that, so I opted for buying a speaker. I found one on eBay end of last year.
I also saw one in Kutztown.
There are more on eBay but the prices are crazy and not really justified, so I waited for a reasonable one to come along.
Both H and G speaker will work, but you might have to work with the plug and see if the transformer mount o the speaker will not interfere with the speaker mounting in your specific radio.


As for the interstage transformer, I think I used 124B. Though probably, should've used 124C (same transformer, half-price due to "B" being higher quality iron, but in 87 or even in my 111, I do not think it matters much. Not sure why I did it.)

Here is the page where I did it.

But if Hammond seems too expensive, the Ratio being 3:1, the Tubesandmore one seems to also fit (same 3:1 ratio)

I think the reason I used Hammond was it is rated for 45mA while the Tubesandmore is rated at 10mA primary current, but then I am not sure I know what current it is used at. At the time I thought it was 10mA and so I wanted some cushion.
