Philco Radio Speaker Model 1?23
#1

I volunteer at our local hospice charity shop testing, evaluating and repairing if sensible donated electronics. There's a lot of mundane stuff, lifted by moderate excitement from 60's & early 70's vintage audio, some of which when refurbished raises a lot more money for our hospice than the typical 90's Sony receiver.

Yesterday I found in my queue something that looked like a side table with a drawer at first glance, then I saw a speaker peering out of a grill in the front and a wire with a pair of spade connectors emerging from a hole in the back.

No electronics

And a label saying it was a Philco Radio Speaker Model 1 (0, 6 or 8) 23.

The speaker cone is in good condition and it sounds OK with modest level input. 

I've been through the product index here, but can't find this model. Is it part of a model with the electronics in a separate housing that sat on the table? 

Can someone please help me identify what I have and hence value it.

I've asked someone to shoot me a photo and will add when I receive it.

Thank you in anticipation.
