Safe to powerup without Speaker?
#9

If your radio doesn't have the output transformer mounted on the speaker you can use a high wattage 1700 ohm resistor in place of the field coil and a regular PM speaker on the voice coil leads.

You need some type of speaker arrangement. You want to be able to listen to the radio and you will want the chassis out of the cabinet to do an alignment.
