I Googled (field coil speaker repair) and found these. They are all DOTCOMs, speakerex, approvedaudioservice, parts-express. Thanks and I hope this helps.

Rick... Great job, as always. You should surprize us one day and show one you can't fix??? That one probably doesn't exist...

Hey Ron,
Thanks. Well I'm not done yet. It has a catchy, level, noise problem, but it functions. Could be a noisy resistor, tube, capacitor I forgot to replace, capacitor I did replace, or all the above. But it functions.

Rick,
About this coil stuff...I'm not sure what you mean by the primary being not tuned. Could you elaborate a little?
Also, how did you determine the thickness of the coil wire and where did you get it?
Lastly, I recently repaired and restored a Philco 620B that had a million bakelite capacitor blocks. I restuffed every single one of them. What a chore. Can't believe my first vintage radio mentor wussed out by putting new caps on the outsides of the blocks. tsk-tsk :)
Regards,
John

Hey John,
The Primary is not a tanks circuit, no variable capacitor across it. I used the closest gauge of wire I had and I got it from Radio Shack. If the bakelite caps show then I would. I don't refill paperwax capacitors either.
Regards,
Rick
