Larry thanks for that info on the WS-1's. I have not opened them yet, but maybe there is a cap in series. It's just a tweeter/mid-range so all you would need is a cap to prevent low freq damage.
The Coronet 808 Service Manual (chassis 10001 - 29999) shows the WS-1's connected to the 8 ohm tap of the SA16 as image below.
The Coronet C55 Service Manual (chassis 30001-39999) does not show the WS-1 at all in the schematic, but my unit has the jacks and in looking at the pics I took before disassembly there is indeed a connection made to both the 8 ohm and 16 ohm tap of the SA16 as shown in the Coronet 808 SM.
Also my unit is a Coronet C55W. It is not a Coronet II. The fisherconsoles.com website is great and quite helpful (thank you!), but erroneously shows the C55 as being the same as the Coronet II. I believe there were 3 versions of the Coronet consoles sold in similar cabinets.
