[QUOTE="Family_Dog, post: 1005486, member: 82"] The RCA cathedral type radio I have is of about the same vintage, it also had a field speaker. At the time I had a neighbour's son staying with me in order to complete his matric year at school, as they were transferred to Pretoria. The son was a member of a guitar band and unknown to me they purloined my RCA speaker. It did not work of course. But the field was used only for magnetising the speaker, it did not form part of the HT smoothing circuit as was also common those days, so I replaced the speaker with a 10" PM speaker which works 100%. -F_D [/QUOTE]
