    FULLY TESTED!
    Nice vintage
    rare woofer speaker driver
    by brand Philco part number 36-1735-1. Official size is 8 inches. Cross holes measurement is 7 11/16"(diagonal c/c fixation hole measurement). This speaker is typical from the late 1960s or early to mid 1970s. Thickness is 3"inches. Output rating is marked 3.5 watts at 8 ohm impedance. This is odd as I have 10 to 40 watts speakers with similar size magnet and even lighter in weight. This may be a printing error (and could be 35 W?) but I can't confirm. Tested with a low power PA amplifier and
    sound is excellent with no anomaly noticed and tone shows it is a woofer, as well with the soft suspension that it have.
    FULLY TESTED
    All my Speaker drivers are tested with music at the proper impedance setting using a multiple impedance output PA amplifier from radio shack and a FLAC music player on AUX. My criteria is simple, to hear a nice clean sound with no distortion or scratchy sound due to defective voice coil or impurities accumulated on magnet, or due to any cone issues. The type of sound a driver delivers is not considered in the analyse as there are many types of sound depending of many construction aspect (IE: less bass/treble) and it's uses. One of the photos with listing may show the driver under test (if there are wires connected).

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION
    when ordering a replacement speaker:
    If you're looking for a replacement speaker, the first important thing to look for is the size in length. If you want to replace a 4 inch speaker in a device, look for this size first and shape type (round, square). See as well the measurement of the fixation holes (when
    equipped
    ) as it have to be re-installed properly. Then the 2nd important data is the impedance. If it's 4 ohm, look first for a 4 ohm. If none available, choose 3.2 ohm or 6 ohm at max but ideally, use the same impedance (not 8 or 16 ohm to replace a 4 ohm). 3rd, it's watt output rating. This is not a must in some case, mainly for a TV or a Radio replacement speaker but the nearest value will give the best result. Don't choose either too low (it may fried the speaker coil) or too high (speaker will not vibrate enough). A 1 to 2 watt speaker would be fine to replace a 1 Watt speaker for example. And finally, it's thickness. This will be an important factor when the speaker is located in a restricted area. If you have 2 inches available, then go below this measurement to be sure it will fit.
