Great little video demonstrating the effects of capacitors gone bad. The speaker "rod" was unique to me. Surprised that connection to the cone was still working after all those years. Thank you for another interesting video.

This speaker design is like the early 1920s speakers. Something I did not expect to find in a 1960s transistor radio. Thanks.

Those speakers work well and have a nice tone. High impedance coil eliminates the voice coil and audio output transformer secondary.

Thank you. I looked around you site, very interesting. I have a friend that just retired from the music business after 55 years. When I was much younger I had a 1970 Corvette then a 1976 Corvette, The 76 Corvette was a two speed. It was on, or it was parked.

@@AllAmericanFiveRadio Thanks for taking a look. I will be releasing another two pedals here in the next couple of weeks. I'm just now beginning to write the demo video dialogue. It helps me to have a sort of bullet point list of things to include in a demo video. Otherwise, I find I can run on for a little too long. The Powerglide is a fun transmission. Bummer on the highway, fun off the line. Take care of yourself and keep the videos coming. You are a legend!!!

@@liltreesguitarco Yes, writing a dialogue is a good idea. If I make drawings, I make them into a story board. Then I practice the dialogue and make changes and/or add to the drawings. The amount of time for this process varies, but worth the investment.

I think that GE is the only manufacture to bring those Reed type speakers back from the past. Those type of speakers were before the electromagnetic (field coil) speakers came out or perhaps even thought of. I had a GE pocket radio with this Reed type speaker in it with the same type of stylus in the center of the paper cone. Don't understand why they went backwards on the newer transistor radios back in the day instead of using an actual permanent magnet one. I did a video on that GE pocket radio. Interesting, informative video.

Thank you. The cost between the PM and reed speaker cannot be much. With the reed no transformer is used. That would save money.
