You might find a manual at any of the following sources: http://www.vintageaudiomanuals.com http://www.treasurechestcorp.com http://www.servicemanuals.net I hope this helps.

You need to look at the specifications of the amplifier you want to use. Many are rated for a 4 ohm load and many are rated for a 2 ohm load. In either case, you could safely connect the 4 ohm speaker. |
