Hi Folks-
I have an old Oahu amplifier from the 30's or 40's -round radio face, Oahu in wood script across front, that needs a new 8" speaker. The amp is used for lap and regular electric guitar. Can anyone suggest a good replacement and where to buy from?
Also, do I need to take out the part that houses the tubes for access to the speaker?
Thanks-
-rs

I don't know if it matters when you replace it, but the original speaker is probably a field coil magnet speaker. If I'm remembering correctly it gets it's magnetic charge from somewhere in the amp.
Maybe someone here who knows more can tell you if you need to replace it with another field coil magnet speaker or not (if it is indeed one to start with).
