A kind soul has stepped forward and hopefully that speaker will do the
trick.
The avionics shop at work carries Quam. Their smallest currently cataloged
replacement speaker is 4C3Z8FR which is an 8 ohm 4 inch. The car
restoration guys have nothing that quite makes it either. This size speaker
was cheap and common looks like the 401-21 in a Heathkit signal tracer would
be a direct swap. No telling how many All-American 5 table and clock
radios used it because it was cheap! It's just not an industry standard any
more. Bendix 24 hole direct-cranking starters aren't either. But that's how
it goes with 'common' stuff some time, no body thinks it's worth saving so
it gets rare.

First, try to find a kind sould that has one, second , see if you can find a
Quam replacement, third- if it is worth it to you, have it re-coned.
($20-30)
