The auction site turned up a very nice condition speaker of the correct type for this radio. Initial bidding was around the $90 mark, reasonable shipping and all was quiet until the last minutes and seconds. I declined to follow the frenzy - the final sale price was $255!
I'll admit that the unit appeared to be in very good condition, but this was far too rich for my blood and went well over the budget I had decided. If the rest of the radio was in more original shape (knobs, tube shields, grill cloth yadda, yadda,) it might have made sense, especially if I were looking to sell it on.
Meanwhile, I have something that will work.
