16 ohm to 8 ohm quad box conversion

[CaptDon]

Last of those electro-dynamic speakers I dealt with were on a 1930's vintage floor model radio. 2 X 12" and both had open magnetic field coils. I replaced them with a pair of 12" speakers from a modern Lowery organ that was killed by lightning and used an inductor to take the place of the field coils. The radio played in a corner of a local restaurant and brought me a lot of customers when the owner told them who fixed his radio. That thing probably sounded better than new!! People loved the old 6U5 magic eye tube and I had installed a nice bright new one.

Hi David

Just for the record, I found that you can get a Marshall jack plate that will switch between 4 & 16 ohm.

In any case, I have gone to 4 ohm and sounds just fine. Cheers.

Yep, and 8 when used as stereo like I mentioned earlier
