Default Re: Hacker Speaker Survey

Thanks, that sounds like the speaker in my RP25. Another for the total - also, I've trawled the images in the Hacker Radio Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hackerradiogroup/), plus I've found a few more images on the forum. The amended the scores are as follows:
  • Goodmans with no bolts: 6 (My RP25, AM Herald RP35, 2 in VHF Herald RP37A, Helsman RP36, Hunter RP36)
  • Goodmans with 3 bolts: 15 (6 in RP18, 4 in RP25, 1 in AM Herald RP30, 1 in Jonster's AM Herald unnumbered - probably RP30, early RP10, Helsman RP36, Marine Herald RP32)
  • Celestion (silver frame): 3 (VHF Herald RP37A, 2 in Sovereign RP25)
  • Celestion (black frame): 3 (2 in Sovereign RP25B, VHF Herald RP37A)
  • Elac (large magnet): 3 (mine + 2 other VHF Herald RP37As)
  • Elac (small magnet): 1 (my Hunter RP38A)
I've also read that RP18s use a 30 ohms speaker, so that's another difference that is worth remembering, but probably complicates my survey unnecessarily at this stage

Edit: plus a couple more from www.richardsradios.co.uk
