Thanks, this is what I though. It was silly of me to hope that replacing a chassis that usually has a speaker mounted to it one would leave the old speaker in place and the PN of the 38-12 speaker assembly is different, but I could not find a Transitone sch and so I did not know if the speaker was PM or FC type. Hence the question.

I certainly do not want to replace a voice coil filtering. After all, not only I end up with a big resistor I have to solder and secure somewhere, but the voice coil is better at it anyway as it is an inductor and so it is LC + RC filtering which is cleaner.

Thanks again. Pity, for 20 bucks it'd be a good buy. Somehow those 38/39 small radios in not so good shape sell for more than I can justify buying for parts. I missed one - forgot about it, and it sold for a reasonable amount a month ago.
I still have not given up hope of getting the proper speaker for my 38-15.
