I put the Thompson speaker back together and hooked it up to the Crosley Trirdyne that I worked on and.....nothing

I do get a pretty good clicking when I put a 1.5v battery across the speaker leads so to be honest I think the speaker is working and it may be the final stage of the Crosley that isn't. I was able to get good reception when listening with headphones but that cuts off the final stage of the radio. After some careful tuning and increasing the volume as much as possible on both the radio and the speaker adjust I was able to hear the very faintest bit of music in the speaker. I think I need to go back into the Crosley and see what's going on. Look for a new post in that thread...
