Philharmonic high frequency speakers?

[Leonid Soloviev]

Hello,

What kind of high frequency speakers were used with 30 tube Philharmonic (15" pedestal speaker)?

Were those Q4 silver color?

They are silver in color and are marked SPEC-1-D-1048, 1886A and SPEC-1-D-1049, 1886B.  They are steel magnet speakers with covers on the back.  I do not believe these are Q4 speakers but lacking markings where such a designation would be placed (on the rim of the basket), I cannot say for sure that they are not Q4 series tweeters.

Thank you, Norman!

There are a pair of speakers on Ebay right now - pictures attached. Was thinking if they fit my Philharmonic, which originally came without tweeters, but I guess there is a connector on 15" pedestal speaker for them.

Leonid:  Those are from a Scott Full Range High Fidelity Receiver (AW-23).  They are field coil tweeters and will not work with a Philharmonic unless you incorporate substantial modifications.  Member Merle Jones is offering that pair of tweeters along with a woofer from the same model.

Norman,

Thank you! I have not seen the woofer.

OK, I don't have AW-23 and don't have any intentions to modify my radio.
