Steve,
Thank you so much for your advice. I was going to do some wire tracing to see what was open but testing the speaker connector pins as you suggested made it easier. Using your convention; holding the speaker plug facing me, starting with the small pin (as pin #1) and working clockwise, it appears to me that pin #2 only connects to one end of the field coil and pin #3 connects to the primary center tap and the other end of the field coil. Regardless, I have no continuity between pins 1&2 nor do I have any between pins 2&3. Its 150 ohms between pins 3&4 and 150 ohms between pins 1&3. 300 ohms between pins 1&4. This indicates what I feared most has happened; the field coil is open. Not sure what to do about that other than to try and find another speaker. Thanks for your help.
