The 6G8G is missing and I can only get hold of a 6B8G, apparently they are interchangeable? |

Thank you JFB I have found and downloaded it, dismayed as I now need to find a 5" 1000 ohm field coil speaker... A bit like rocking horse shit no doubt, although I'll pull it apart and check for sure as I have the radio minus the speaker. |

I do hope it is realised, that for some of those SE audio transformers of the open type, albeit that there are ways of extracting the ISO ones that are in a can full of tar (no feathers), you can knock it a part & fit a new bobbin. |
