[NJARC] field coil speaker replacement

The field coil is 2125 ohms, and I used a 2900 ohm resistor. Don't know
the specs on the output transformer, but it matches a single ended 6F6
to probably a 3.2 ohm speaker. Another transformer/speaker combo sounds
fine using the original field, but not so good using a resistor.
Sorry for the confusion.

I was successful in using the same matching transformer that is mounted on the old speaker and just changing the speaker with a 8 ohm speaker. Using a resistor will result in a power loss due to the mismatch in the impedance of the output tube and a 8 ohm speaker.
