1941 GE Model L-640 Help Needed
#7

According to the schematic it looks like one side of the speaker/output transformer was grounded to the chassis which means that the speaker would of been attached to the chassis originally it looks like (unless thats an older version of my radio), which doesn't make sense because the way my radio cabinet was made the speaker was made to be attached to the cabinet not the chassis, and the output transformer wires (or at least what I'm assuming is the output transformer wires anyways) there are two wires coming from the output transformer as opposed to just one if it were actually a case of the speaker and output transformer being grounded to the chassis like in my Westinghouse 182.
