I haven't had time to do any research but does anyone know if the speaker from a 1936 model 116X console would work in a 38-116? I have a 38-116 that has a totally shot speaker in it. Was just wondering. I will do some research later.

Most speakers will, but 38-116 had some dual-type cone, with thicker middle responsive to high pitches and softer outer part. Otherwise, maybe mechanical etc but should work.

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:
