It's not visible in your picture (the large coil is obscuring it), but there is a long hump in the chassis that accommodates a couple of AF transformers underneath. Probably one burnt out, and the replacement was put above-board, since it had mounting feet in that orientation.

These radios pre-dated electrodynamic speakers, there should be a pair of jacks off near the left side of the chassis (again, underneath that large unrelated coil). You could plug in headphones or a horn speaker, or a pin-drive cone speaker. I have a nice Rola-cone that I will use with mine, once I repair it (broken drive pin).

FYI, the schematic is available at Nostalgia-Air, but it's under the "US Radio and Television" heading (which is what Apex became shortly after this model).
