Bill,
While I don't recall ever seeing this kind of thing, I looks like
at least two others here have. So my next question would be to ask
you how many wires are coming out of the chassis to that "unit"?
Four or five, and it's very likely a field coil as I previously
mentioned. Two, and it's probably a small Class A amplifier with
the output xformer mounted on the speaker as noted by Dave and Matt.
