[Hallicrafters] Fw: Hallicrafters 4x6 speaker for PS-150-120

[Tom Lewis]

Everyone,


The speaker arrived today and it fits just fine. The company sells both an 8 and 4 ohm versions of this speaker. The 4 ohm one should be used.

Everyone,

On Saturday I went to a number of car parts stores and TV repair shops. None of them had a speaker that will fit the power supply. All of them have magnets that are too big.

I searched on the internet and I think I have found a speaker that will work. The company that makes them has a $100 minimum order.

They told me that S & M Electro-Tech has them in stock and will sell one at a time. This company restores classic car radios.

I contacted them and they told me the mounting holes match what I need. The speaker has to be a 4x6 with mounting holes that are 3 5/8 and 4 5/8 inches 
  apart. Also 4 ohms.
