[Hallicrafters] Speaker for SX-62A

[Richard Knoppow]

     I can't find a handbook for the original SX-62 but the A, B, and B 
run-2 versions have three output taps at 3.2, 8 and 600 ohms.  For a 
time 3.2 was the RMA standard for broadcast receivers but many Hi-Fi 
speakers are 8 ohms and many speakers for communications receivers have 
600 ohm inputs with a built-in transformer. So, the  R-46 should work 
without bypassing anything, just connect it to the 600 ohm tap.

I have a few Hallicrafter speakers but not a R-46 or R-46A which Dachis states is the matching speaker for the SX-62A (the A, which mine is, has an 3.2 ohm output and the R-46A speaker is 3.2 ohms also). I would like to exhibit the "correct" matched pair. So does anyone have a R-46 or R-46A speaker they could part with? Thanks..
