Yes, I found the speaker part number on the schematic for your set, and looked it up in Philco's 1946 parts catalog (Quick Selector Parts Directory). Then I looked up the part number of the speaker of a few other models from their schematics, compared them to the 1946 parts catalog, and that's how I came up with the cross-reference I gave you.

There is a 42-380 chassis and speaker on eBay right now, ending tonight.

The speaker in this auction is the speaker you need. If the knobs are in good shape, you could sell them to Bill T for his 1946 radio-phonograph? Sell the chassis to someone else? Who knows. But this is but one example, the 40-180, 41-280 and 42-380 were some of the most popular Philcos in their time, so there are a lot of them floating around. And there are enough junkers of those types that you should have no problem finding a speaker.
