More Bass Please!
#19

Ah. That explains it. My cabinet has I think four mounting holes already drilled in the shelf. Hopefully the front panel on the one I'm getting can be turned around. From the picture it looks like it might be in kind of rough shape, but guess these things are kind of scarce. I remember having a console several years ago that did have one installed, but don't recall which model it was. It did not have a separate amp chassis as I recall so was not a Symphony. Maybe a Belvidere? Seems like they made several very similar models that had everything on one chassis with a pair of 6V6's for the amp. Just received a Maggy field coil speaker with tranny attached and seven pin plug. It is for use with a CR187 chassis. Only thing is that I don't have a PF for that particular model number. The Sams that I do have calls for a 1000 ohm field coil. The speaker I just got has about 500 ohms, so I put a 500 ohm wirewound resistor in series and it seems to work just fine. Think I'll get a little higher wattage resistor as this one is getting a little warmer than I'd like. But, on the other hand, I'm not sure what value the field coil should really be so---. Maybe it isn't that critical? Is there any way to identify the maker of speaker? The numbers on the back probably give a clue to manufacturer. I believe some of their speakers were made by Quam, any way the Quam replacements have very similar numbers to the ones on my Symphony.
