Replacing a speaker
#3

Ryan

I see the speaker you need was originally 12 inches in diameter, with an 1100 ohm field coil and 5.1 ohm voice coil. The speaker from a 41-280 is an exact replacement, as are speakers from Models 42-380 and 42-390. In fact, probably any 1940-42 12 inch Philco speaker would work.

These type of chassis and speakers are on eBay all the time. There are probably several collectors who have one or more of these in their basements. Perhaps a "Wanted" ad in the Phorum "Philco Wanted" section might help...? Icon_smile

Danny, your situation is different, since you are dealing with a table model set. You need a 5 inch speaker with a 1700 ohm field, 3.5 ohm voice coil. A quick glance through some Service Bulletins, cross-referenced against a 1946 Philco parts catalog, indicates that speakers from Models 40-130, 40-135, 41-230, 41-235, or 41-240 will serve as exact replacements.
