radiola 17 speaker connection

I have 2 loose wires and 2 jacks on back of radio right under UX 171 tube. I'm not sure which are speaker connection and I think the other would be antenna and ground. Help, thanks

I'm going by my Radiola 18 which is very similar to the 17. Both of the two jacks are for the speaker, one for each lead. The jacks are miniatures, taking the small plugs typically seen on old headphone cords.

The antenna and ground wires (not jacks) are brought out from behind the set at the other end from the speaker jacks. Mine are green and black wires.

Check the schematic - all should become clear.

:: Thanks Doug, I hooked my speaker to jacks but no sound. All tubes are lit. The 2 loose wires come out right under jacks. I'll have to pull chassis and trace those wires. I think the 17 and 18 are a little different when it comes to schematic. Thanks, Jim
