Speaker: I have an Atwater Kent Model M and a Utah! speaker that would work with this set until something better comes along.
Tubes: The set has seven tubes and an empty socket, but I'm not sure whether an eighth tube is needed. I think the tubes are six 99's plus one 120. Hard to replace? Is long-pin vs. short-pin an issue--will either one work?
In any case, I've put in an inquiry, and I'd appreciate any advice in case I get a call-back.

I passed up on one like this last year, did you get the antenna with it?
For battery sets, I bought a battery eliminator thru Antique Radios Inc.
I'm sure the tube that's missing is needed, guess you can get the tube lineup at nostalgic air, and I think it takes long pins.
The speaker you have should work with it.
