Hello:
I am still spending time with my Zenith 12 U 159. I replaced the # 2 speaker with an old speaker with a permanent magnet.I had another junker with a field coil that measured 5000 ohms.The combination works reasonably well. I plan to replace the junker speaker with a good permanent magnet and a chohe. I order most of my parts from Radio Daze.I would appreciate a suggestion by part number from the catalog # 306 Radio Daze. Thanks again.

Without really studying the schematic.. I'm guessing an 8 -10 Henry choke should do the job ... at like what?.. maybe 80 - 100 ma or in that range?

You can find one at www.oldradioparts.com too...

What was wrong with the original speakers?

Hi Tom
Both speakers had open field coils. This is the Zenith 12 U 159 that had a bad power transformer-Two sections open of the candohm-Two bad 5Y3,s-all bad filter caps etc. It is working at this time but I am trying to buy two original transformer.I hope to use another choke and another permanent speaker until I can either find two original transformers or send my two somewhere to have them rebuilt.Thanks again
