On e-bay there appears to be two speakers with similar physical appearance. One is described as Type E, 9?, field coil 3.5K ohms, voice coil 320 ohms. The other is Type G, 11?, field coil 520 ohms. Unfortunately I don?t know how to tell the difference. When I measured my bad speaker, I measured 10? (approx.) diameter. Would appreciate if someone can straighten me out. Thanks.

I think you want something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-PHILCO-TUBE-RADIO-part-Working-FIELD-COIL-SPEAKER-9-type-E-/331696700301?hash=item4d3aa9fb8d:g:mgcAAOSwo0JWNYxu If you look at the Model 87 schematic, it says the speaker field coil is 3200 ohms: This is the important parameter. 3500 ohms is close enough for government work. The earlier speakers had higher resistance coils. If you use something from a newer radio with, say 500 ohms, you might have to re-engineer the power supply circuit to get everything working correctly. The 9" speaker should physically fit OK, I don't know about an 11" unit. I was a little confused about the guy's 320-ohm voice coil, but I'll bet he was reading the output transformer primary, rather than the secondary / voice coil, which should be 10-ohm'ish. Hope that helps, Al Al Klase ?

Went home disappointed, but then while explaining my plight to a friend, I had an epiphany. After cutting the tube to the correct length, 6 1/2 inches, I cut the tube lengthwise, from end to end, and the tube contracted. So I inserted 3 batteries, and the natural tension of the plastic closed around the batteries. Applied some solvent type glue that seeped between the surfaces and that was it! Trimmed the edges with a scissor, and it looks almost factory. The 8 foot tube was about $5, so at 6 1/2 inches per tube, I can make 14 tubes. A guy on ebay is selling the battery tubes for about $20. So, if I charge only $10 each, that's $140! A profit of $135!! Don't attempt this, I have a patent pending.

After cutting the tube to the correct length, 6 1/2 inches, I cut the tube lengthwise, from end to end, and the tube contracted.

Seems allot easier than heating and applying a band. Using the batteries as "mold" makes the perfect tight fit, yet still allows the batteries to be removed and replaced. Actually the tube is 8 feet, 96". A D cell is apx. 2.5" which means about 38 batteries which add up to 57 volts. Not the most efficient way to pack the batteries, kind of unwieldy, and difficult to carry around.

In the past NJARC has joined in with scary skits such as The Mad Science Lab. We no longer participate in that manner since the event is now mostly outdoors. But !!, we still have a responsibility to support the program that keeps a roof over our head and heat in our rooms. Volunteers are needed for every Friday and Saturday evening in October for general monitoring duties, crowd control and ticket taking etc. 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, weather permitting, no costumes or make-up required. Please pick dates that you can help and contact me or Gloria at admsupport at infoage.org . You might have a lot of fun doing it.

I?ve had moderate success with dull bakelite. Take some really thin oil like 3 in 1, or sewing machine oil and wipe it on with a soft cloth and apply it to the area. Let it soak (the longer the better). After a few hours (or longer) wipe the oil off the surface and buff. Much of the color and shine should come back. Try on a remote area first. ? Bob Bennett?

The Bakelite is a marble brown composition.? It was very "grungy" but cleaned up well with some Dawn liquid soap and water. There are no soft spots on the case and no cracks.? I've been working with various plastic cleaners including Novus.? Recently I tried Brasso with no real improvement.? I am getting it to a little better than a satin finish.? I have a small area that shows that the cabinet originally had a high gloss finish. What I'm trying to find out now is can this former finish be reproduced?? Am I at the point of best effect or can a clear finish be put on it?? Thanks in advance.

There were no bids. He then dropped to $100.00. Again no bids. The auctioneer then dropped it to $50.00 and there was only one bid on the console. I feel that the low price was due to the present low market prices on consoles. For example, the Atwater Kent model 55 with Kiel table only sold for $40.00. Also, it was near the end of the auction and some people had already left or were tired. While the Radiola IX is rarer then the AK 55, the Radiola certainly sold for a very low price. I should know because I was the person who won the Radiola IX Sonora phono combination.
