[Hallicrafters] Enquiry about R-42 "The Reproducer" , etc

[Carl]

The R-42 is the correct one and the R-45 is the rack mount if you intend to 
go that way.
The R-44 is the cheap one for the SX-43 and uses a 6x9" automobile 
speaker.....think Hammarlund sound.

While the PM-23 is an earlier speaker it is 12" and can really handle the PP 
6V6's very well. I have 2 R-42's and about 8 PM-23's here in use on all 
brands because they sound good.

All but the R-45 are fairly common on Ebay and the PM-23 shows much more 
often there and at hamfests.
