The correct speaker would be an Atwater Kent model E, E2 or E3.  Click on
the link for pictures:  http://users3.ev1.net/~wck5/radpix2/ak.html

The speaker is high impedance, between 1,000 or 2,000 ohms.  I don't know
the value of the E model speakers.  A horn speaker or any early remote
speaker will work if it has the cloth cord with the two separate pin
connectors.  Some had the paper cone enclosed in a housing and others had
the cone exposed.  Peerless is a very common speaker and a nice one can
usually be found for between $20 and $60.  Depends on location, who's
selling, etc.

A modern speaker will also work with an impedance matching transformer.
Find a trashed tube radio with a magnetic speaker and make your connections
to the input of the output transformer and it should work.

Good luck,
Aaron
