not trying to hijack this thread. I remember a few yrs back when I restored a nice orig Philco 90 (missing orig spkr & trans), .. I subbed a modern type "musak" type full range 8" paper cone spkr, ( if memory serves me) , I had to make a new baffle-board to accomadate with orig fnt cabinet brass spkr screws?... and add the appropriate 10 watt wirewound resister for missing field-coil, ... but the new PM type spkr sounded AWESOME!! At least I saved a old Philco mod 90 for one of my customers. They found the radio in a barn outside Amarillo,Tx, and it had been hacked badly under chassis as well. Philco 90s sound GREAT with modern type PM spkrs added if you ever have to make that choice in the future!! Sincerely, TxRockr
