MrFixr55-
Thanks for all the good information. I know that the "motor" is open. Since this is my first venture into completely disassembling the speaker, I was treading slowly and looking for experts opinions.
I have re-wound a few Philco Oscillator and RF coils, but as you mention, I suspect this wiring would be even finer (smaller gauge). I am also aware of the dasteredly green area on the coils!
I wanted to try to save it's originality, but may have to fallback to a PM speaker replacement internally.
I've set it aside for the moment, but will get back to it and start looking into the motor.
Thanks
John N3MUN
