[Healeys] Radio speakers

[Bob Spidell]

My BJ8 has an original BMC radio, I got a replacement speaker from Radio 
Shack (I know, lotta help).  I think the dia. was 6" but not sure (it's 
about the same width as the radio). But, because it's still positive 
ground the music comes out backwards* (Paul IS dead).

Wow, this may be harder than thought; the usual searches don't turn up 
much for a 'bare' speaker (you get mostly Bluetooth and stereo 
speakers). I think a young(er) person will be really disappointed with 
the sound; as they're used to ear buds and headphones.

* Only (half) kidding, of course. It's pretty amazing how some people 
have a lot of trouble coming to grips with pos. gnd. My friend who 
bought an MG-T keeps calling it 'reverse polarity' which is true enough, 
I guess. My BFF who bought my dad's '55 T-Bird--6V, pos. gnd.--finally 
came to grips with 'Oh, you just hook up the positive terminal to the 
chassis.'
