The speaker on my Revox G36 is toast. I'm not sure if it could even be reconed. Does anyone know the specs? I think it's an 8 inch, possibly a 4 ohms. Thanks for any help.

How about measuring the resistance of the other speaker?

There is only one. It’s monophonic. Thanks for the reply

5 ohms. That’s an odd one. I haven’t seen any of those for sale.Could I substitute a 8 ohm?

This thread indicates that a 4 ohm speaker would be a better match but an 8 ohm speaker would be OK.

Can I replace a 5 ohm speaker ?
I have a nice Saba Lindau 18 with a bad 5 Ohm speaker can I replace that with an 8 Ohm replacement speaker and still have it sound good? Thanks, Bill

I'm pretty sure it's the same speaker as used in a few previous models. There should be some fairly cheaply on eBay from time to time; I know it's not that imperative, but the G36 is of that age and getting harder to find in nice condition. Personally, I'd just wait for an original to come my way so the deck is as it should be in future, I doubt you'll be using that speaker much for playback in the meantime.

I've been looking on eBay. Got the speaker in my saved search. I guess it will play back through my preamp without the speaker being in place. I think I have some bad tubes. It's trying to make sound, but doesn't. Probably my amp tubes are bad. Probably a few others are bad too. Has the original Philips. I've ordered replacements. The capstan and reel motors work well.I'm pretty sure it's the same speaker as used in a few previous models.
