However, you would have to substitute something suitable in place of the field coil in the power supply circuit.  Often a power resistor is used.  A choke is a better substitute, if you can find one that's similar to the field coil of the speaker.  Look at Edcor and also at Play Things of Past, http://www.oldradioparts.com.

Thanks so much for your reply and suggestion.  I may just try your suggestions.  Thanks again!
