Philco 70 Cathedral Speaker
#3

Ron


I saw that yesterday and decided not to post it here....the reasons being

1: cone is done for. Those do not repair well, brittle paper, will have to go.
2. There were no statements as to the field coil and transformer integrity, and each one can be a 50-80 bucks if you pay someone to do it.
And unlike the 20 speaker, feld coil repair is a pain as the pole is pressed in.
So this speaker restored can become 2-3 times the price you would pay for a working one.

I have one, that I got with the chassis for 15 bucks. Still haven't brought myself to restore it. Though so far no need.
