SOLVED Westinghouse RC radio-so... they think im the guy to get this thing working
#22

Scott,

Sorry, I am no expert on the modern "wireless" radio which I think is where your going.

That said a new WIFI remote speaker (device) or in Bluetooth may be the answer. I "think" that these devices may be available as "caseless" modules of which external controls could be added.

However, IMHO, using a finished stand alone device tucked behind the radio and connected via jack/plug to a "restored" speaker. Such a speaker (horn) that has a ruined driver replaced with a modern speaker hidden in the base so the acoustic effect of the horn is used. That may be an answer. If the WIFI/Bluetooth device fails, it would be a drop in replacement.

Good Luck!
