I have the article about phasing the tweeter's on the Philco 38-690 radio.

However, the wire colors have faded over the years. I have traced the circuitry and know that I can

reverse the voice coil wires on one of the tweeters. Should I just go ahead and reverse the wires on one

or the other tweeter voice coil?


Thank you,
