Also, with missing speakers out of these old radios: I imagine a lot of boys in the 1950's saw those big honkin' speakers in grandpa's old radio stored out in the barn, and took them thinking they'd be great for their hi-fi. What a surprise when they didn't work (since they didn't know about field coil speakers needing power to the field.)

Good idea. I'll hunt around for some better pictures of that base and look into having a replica made.
I wonder if a speaker like this would work ? It's the correct diameter and the mounting bracket looks like it might fit OK

The schematic and parts list I have don't specify the field coil or speaker impedance.
