Circa '32 Crosley 148 book radio & RCA 6T2 tombstone
#5

The whole Facebook thing wouldn't work around here, most of the junk/antique dealers seem more interesting in collecting then selling, and the ones that are interested in selling don't bother with the internet at all. The last thing I saw for sale in terms of novelty radios was a Guild Country Bell for $70, it's in so so condition, and I wouldn't pay anywhere near that for it given how common they are, neither will anyone else since they still have it.
As I mentioned on you tube at least whoever replaced the speaker had enough of a mind to use a proper choke instead of a large power resistor, some people think they can use a pi filter in a 10 tube console with push pull outputs. You can get away with that in a five tube set but the current load gets higher with tube count and so does the voltage drop.
Regards
Arran

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
