  • Great video! I have the same radio and speaker. On the E1, is the red wire positive and the black wire negative ? I test my speakers with a 1.5V battery to ear the clicking noise. I just want a make sure I respect polarity when I do that.

  • @MyPat9999

    Yes, the red or ribbed wire is the positive connection. And it is important to keep from demagnetized the magnet.

  • I never understood the metal fin tuning in these old systems (I have a Marantz 2265b from the 70's which has a similar design)

  • The more the metal plates are engaged, the higher the capacitance and the lower the frequency.

  • How do you get such clear AM reception on these old radios? Usually on any am radio I've used there's allways some annoying buzzes and wining noises going on.

  • I am located only a few miles from two 50K watt stations, but the reception can still be noisy. There really is no way around it, AM is noisy.

  • IS anyone looking for a model e speaker,are they worth anything i have one and it is in very good condition it just doesnt have those mesh inserts in the back

  • They are Permanent Magnets but not really good ones. You get an idea of what is in the AK type E Speaker by looking at theses videos. Atwater Kent Horn Speaker Type M Repair and Baldwin Radio Headset Type C

  • How do these speakers work ,I do not think they have a field coil ,and I know it to early for a PM speaker .The voice coil has to react with some type of magnetic field .Help !

  • Thanks! Pretty much between the metal diaphragm (ear phone) and the voice coil was the metal reed type speaker. They did sound better than most horn speaker. I am a believer of "If it works, don't fix it"
