The speaker in my Omni VI+ has stopped aging gracefully and needs to be replaced. It says it is 4 ohm, 2 watt. Is there a preferred source for these devices, or something to watch out for, frequency
I'll do my best. Parts Express shipping is 7-13 days. Being an OT, I was too cheap to pay for expedited shipping. I have been fiddling with the Omni VI+ recently, and it is still a very good radio, p

Be glad you didn't pay $1400 for an Apple IIP with 16k of memory, no mass storage or printer, no software other than BASIC and Little Brick Out, or monitor, back when you could buy a brand new Volvo
