Philco used two different speakers during production of the 38-116. Both (W-4 and W-5) have identical specs. Both have 350 ohm fields.

The speaker used in the 1936 model 116B (U-9) has a 1450 ohm field.

So...the U-9 will not work in the 38-116.

You can find specs for all 1929-1936 Philco speakers here:
