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"

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.

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.
