[Boatanchors] National NC-183, speaker?

[Philip (KO6BB)]

Hi All,
Awhile back I mentioned that I'd managed to snag a NC-183 receiver from 
a friend of mine.  Oddly enough, this was one that I had recapped and 
overhauled (including replacing most of the resistors too), but didn't 
recall owning it myself (I recognized the work I'd done when I opened 
her up).

It sure is a NICE SWL receiver and I'm using it more for that purpose 
than my expensive Yaesu FT-2000 (which has a superb receiver in it).  
While the normal (no Xtal filter in use) selectivity isn't as good, on 
the rare occasions that I get one of those infamous 5KCs hets from an 
adjacent station, engaging the  Xtal filter and notching it out with the 
phasing control is a breeze.

NOW, I'd like to get a regular National (or similar) Speaker for it (I'm using a small Jensen Speech-Master speaker).  It seems that a week or two back somebody here was selling some National and Hallicrafters speakers as well as some others.  It seemed that most were in the 70.00 dollar range and I didn't reply as my wallet was/is rather slim.

I want something of fairly good size (8" or so) and in reasonable 
condition.  In other words, speaker not damaged and sounds good, not run 
over by a Mac truck etc.  If the paint isn't perfect, that's OK so long 
as the grill etc isn't trashed. While a National is my first choice (for 
obvious reasons  :) , a Halli  one would be OK  so long as it meets the 
above criteria.  Price IS a factor, please send price (including 
shipping to 95348)  with your reply.

Thank you.
