I think I need to replace the original speaker on my S-38 and was wondering 
where the best place would be to order from.

Try Fry Electronics.  I found a 5" round that fit my Echophone EC-1 there.  
It's a 4 ohm, 6 watt speaker that works great.  (Output transformer in 
Echophone had been replaced years ago, so I'm not sure what the original output Z was.)

Been reading about your hum issue, also...  I've been working on my Echophone 
with the chassis out of the cabinet, and noticed that I had hum until I 
shorted the outside metal cover of the volume control to the chassis.

Well, the pot had a couple bad spots that DeOxit would fix, so I replaced the 
control.  Presto...no more hum with the volume control cover floating above 
chassis ground.  Don't ask me why.

Caution when working on these AC/DC units.

Good luck,
Joe
