I have an American Philco Hippo with a square 4 inch speaker(not the usual oval one). The mounting looks original, so I think it came from the factory that way. As many of these were manufactured in 1946, just after WWII, I think Philco used what they could find.
I have several Hippos from around 1946 with varying tube line ups. I have both 35Z5 and 35Y4 rectifiers. The output tubes include 50L6s, 50B5s and 50A5s. I also have 1946 versions with both field coil and PM speakers.
The 1948 version of the Hippo has a different tube lineup with a 14AF7 converter and two 7B7 IF tubes(but no RF amplifier as the 1946 version has).
