KB FB10 Speaker Size - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Can anyone let me have the size and specs for the KB FB10 loudspeaker?

I want to look for one at a event this weekend but I am working nights and quite away from home so I cannot get at the set to find out before I go there!

Much appreciated.

The KB "Toaster" has a 4" round unit. Quite easily souced via Members I suspect and likely to be 3 ohms.

The make in my FB10 is a Goodmans, here are a couple of photos, I hope they help.

Thanks you all for the help.

I just need to know the size 4"? and hopefully I will spot one at the/a show - IF a member does have one for grabs I would also be very interested in getting hold of one of those.

Kind regards - John

Hello Mike, thank you very much for the details - I hadn't looked at the pictures closely before posting the last reply.

Yes, the size is actually 5 inches but I would look for one with the dimension of 120mm between the centres of the mounting holes.
The shape of the rim "profile" is also important so it sits close to the radio chassis.

I might see you at Tonbridge then?
