I recently became the owner of a Philco console 42-390, saving it from the dumpster.  It is missing the speaker. It uses a dual 41 push-pull amplifier for its output. I believe it had an 8" speaker.  I have not been able to locate locate an original speaker and transformer(36-1552-4; 32-8120), so I probably will have to install a PM speaker in its place.  Does anyone know what the measurements in ohms is for the field coil and voice coil?  I have a coil winder and have had good results winding new voice coils and field coils for for my Crosleys. Also, it would be of help to know what output transformer should I use as a replacement? 
Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks, Steve
