Philco 37-610 in a 38-9 cabinet
#13

OK, just looked at the email you sent me last week, and I see you probably need the HS as it appears it needs the 10-1/2 inch speaker.

I think this is the speaker Terry was referring to:

http://cgi.ebay.com/320800645042

It is the only "H" series Philco speaker currently on eBay.

This is from a 1938 Philco set since it has the three-terminal connector on the speaker frame. If you think about bidding on this one, though, ask the seller what the resistance of the field coil is first! It needs to be around 1140 ohms. If it is more, or significantly less, it won't work. The auction ad does not mention any resistance readings.

Also (and this is very important) - make sure the seller properly packs the speaker! Give him these directions:

Lay the speaker cone side down on a large piece of cardboard. Fold the cardboard over the back of the speaker, cutting the cardboard as necessary, until the entire speaker is covered and the cardboard fits tightly over the entire speaker. Tape the cardboard shut.

If this is not done, the speaker will be damaged in shipping!
