Model 71 Grill Cloth: original or not?
#2

Can you take a close up picture of the cloth? The weave pattern is not visible in the photo.

If the existing speaker's field coil and output transformer are still good, you might consider having it reconed. The field coil is part of the power supply and replacing with a PM speaker involves complications. Alternately, you could try and find a similar used speaker.


This is what a reproduction of the original cloth looks like.

Not an exact duplicate, but the best available at this time:
