The novelty radios have the same type speaker and the poor tone proves it.
BTW, can you post the schematic. It seems interesting. Schematics are the universal language. :thmbsp:

Sure, can take a shot of it later tonight. It's really nothing amazing though, in concept it is strikingly similar to the Westinghouse 99A I just got yesterday (although implementation is slightly different! :)

The fun for me was getting my 9 year old daughter to help.. she had fun with the colour codes and reading all the tiny numbers on the components.

That speaker may be swapped out.. I have a too far gone USSR built portable radio with a similar size speaker, and I think it will provide far better tone.

There is a video on youtube where someone makes a sticky-note into a speaker by placing foil coils 'wound' in opposite directions on opposite sides of the paper connected in series by punching a hole through the center. It sounded bad IIRC, but it did work.
