I recently acquired this Philco 16B code 125. It has been worked on prior and I will need some assistance from the more learned members while I attempt to restore it.

When I was taking the chassis out to clean it up I noticed these two wires attached to the transformer attached to the speaker. I have no idea what the purpose of these two clamped wires would be. If someone could enlighten me as to why they were soldered here, it would be greatly appreciated. I am still a novice at radio repair.
