Also where can I get a correct impedance (4 ohm?) rear shelf speaker for this radio? Thanks.

You can guy correct 8 ohm replacements from turnswitch.com . A modern 4 ohm speaker will overheat the radios output transformer . Always stick with the correct 8 ohm speakers on these 60's-early 70's radios . Greg gregward@mchsi.com phone 256-852-0955

What's a compatible 'modern' speaker??? Their isn't a compatible "modern" speaker because all modern speakers produced now are generally 4 ohm . Your options are to have your originals re-coned , or buy a reproduction 8 ohm from turnswith.com They offer just about every speaker size for the 60's-70's muscle car era in the original 8 ohm impedance .
