Radioroslyn-
I'm a rookie at this process. I will need to get a gear puller. Obviously I have never removed one like this. I'm nervous about removing the cone. Do you know if there are any write-ups or YouTube videos on this part of the process? I assume that the cone can easily be re-installed after the new coil is wound? I just wound one for another speaker that was 1300 ohms. This is 3200, not sure what gauge wire should be used, but I used #36AWG on the previous one.
Sorry for all the questions. Just don't want to end up with a pile of junk that used to be a speaker due to my lack of expertise.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks
John N3MUN

Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
