Guest Jim Zephyr Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Can anyone confirm the originality of the speaker in this 38 Zephyr? it has pins that plug intothe speaker - it is an old style powered speaker, but I am wondering if its a replacementor if it is original? the Philco cord appears original, but just not sure if the plug in connectorsare correct. Anyone with knowledge of the original set up on your car? Jake Flemingand I are interested to know... Thanks Jim jim.zephyr@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jim Zephyr Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks flatcat for taking the time to post photos, looks like an original powered speaker. Does it appear to be only twowires going to speaker? Mine has a fused power line going to "powered magnet" which then backtracks to power the radio itself, seems original as it is built into the weaved cord...not sure why I am so obsessed with originality but I am - fascinates me to understand how it was done back in the day and the challenge of making it operate however inferior it may be to a regular magnet speaker.

Ken/Alabama Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The plug has three pins. Two of them go to the speaker and the other one is a ground thats grounded to the speaker housing. There is no fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
