Looking for a speaker
4/2/2005 12:31:22 AMClair
Greetings.

I know this is a long shot, but I never know till I try. Anyone out there have or know someone who has a Zenith 12" speaker part number 49-187 that has a 275ohm field coil?

By the way... I truly do appreciate all the comments that everyone gave me about rewinding a field coil. I will definetly keep those in mind if I cannot find the original speaker.

Any comments are welcome!!

Hi Clair

If you don't find the right speaker a 12" PM type can be used. Replace the field with a wire wound resistor. Electrolytic filter cap values may need to be increased to eliminate hum.

:Any comments are welcome!!It might help if you could furnish a model number of the set the speaker is a part of. I have several old zenith speakers. I have a 12 inch zenith that came out of a zenith radio record player console. I checked the number on it and it is 49CR579. A quick ohm check of the coil was 300+.There is also the number S13255 on the back of the speaker.

The speaker I am looking for a speaker that goes to a 1938 Zenith Model 15U270. This speaker has the acoustic adapter option. I don't necessarily need the "beehive", I really need the speaker. I do have a 12inch speaker from a 12S265 that has a bad field coil, poor cone and a good output tranny that I would be willing to do a possible partial trade.
