How do I find out how old my record player is?
I just got one for free, I just have to replace the speaker. It's a Columbia and the model number is 417. It's also the portable kind

if it has tubes, then the speaker is a 3.2 ohm type.
It’s really not that important, you won’t be able to get the original one anyway.
Pull the speaker out, look on the back. It should give the ohms. Just buy any full range speaker from a store like Radio Shack that matches the ohms, size, and bolt pattern.
If the speaker doesn’t give the ohms, assume it is 8, and do the same thing.
If you can’t match it perfectly, do the best you can, and mount it in there the best you can.
It will work fine.
