Gonset speaker replacement

[John Hurst]

Sometimes the coil connection opens up on the solder connection between the
VC and the flex wires. The two connections are on the cone. I've repaired
speakers by melting the glue covering the connection and then resoldering.

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)
