Pulled out one of my favorite farm sets to take her for a spin. It's a Philco 37-33 I got back in '87 in Kentucky at a radio swap. It was a mess rusty, no dial scale or speaker. The speaker was interesting because it connected directly to the output tube which in this case is a 1E7 dual pentode wired for push pull operation. So the speaker had a center tap. Anyway it got replaced with an eight inch Jensen w/matching transformer. Chaiss got cleaned up and a coat of black wrinkle, back then couldn't get hammertone and a repro dial was found for it. Refinished the cabinet and touched up the flash finish front panel. When it was finished it worked great! The 1E7 will make about 1/2watt of audio. Doesn't seem like much but it's plenty loud and very clean. The whole set draws 15ma B+ and .5a @ 2v. The picture of the speaker is from ebay as one was just sold a few days ago. (not mine)
