Thanks for the transformer info. I happened to stop into one of the remaining radio "junk" houses here on L.I. today and found a Thordarson output transformer rated at 12W and with an output impedance usable with this radio. I also picked up a 8 hy choke in case the I can not get the damaged speaker that was in this radio working. I managed to get both for $15 after some haggling. When I think of what I've thrown out during my 50 years as a HAM, and how much of it I could use now, I cringe. I sure miss Radio Row that I frequented as a young HAM.
