The speakers with the nut holding the pole piece are the ones that have solid spiders. At least, that has held true for every type K speaker I have seen. The K-2 and above have open spiders and pressed-in pole pieces.
Ron,
Do you know anyone who can rewind the field coil in a model 70 speaker by somehow removing the pressed in pole piece, rewinding the coil and then resetting the pressed-in pole piece? I believe Hank Brazeal could rewind the field coil but I don't think he can deal with the pressed in pole piece. It's certainly beyond my abilities to remove it. That's why I'm currently looking at a PM speaker and a large power resistor to replace it...
Thanks,
Mark
