This is a transformerless radio and if you intend to run it out of the case for testing, you MUST use an isolation transformer for safety. Is it a field coil speaker? PM speakers are easy to replace. I have the tubes, but there are many other sources online. The dial glass (or plastic cover) is unique and will have to come from a junker. I may be able to find one at the Antique Wireless Association flea market on Thursday. The transformer is probably OK if the resistance readings check out per the schematic.

Thank you Tom for the great information from your website and answering my questions. Again this is my first restoration project and I know I am going to enjoy this.

The speaker does appear to be attached to a transformer. The speaker's cone is broken and torn in several places. Can I purchase a newer speaker to replace the broken one? Also, the V5 power output tube has a crack in its base. Can you recommend an online source for a replacement? I will gladly pay for the dial face should you locate one.

Again, thank you Tom for your help.
