That's certainly possible but I've had a couple of these and both had issues with the speaker. I just swapped it out with another 4" from the parts box and they played fine. I'm thinking they just used a really cheap speaker on these which is odd because the larger Crosley Coloradios, of this same vintage, had very decent speakers in them.
