Heathkit clock speaker?

I just managed to get hold of unbuilt Heathkit alarm clock GC-1107.
The electrolytics were dry and the speaker is shot.
Finding replacement caps was easy, but does anyone here know the
impedance of this 2,5" speaker?
Is it "normal" 8 ohms or something more exotic?

To clarify the circuit, the postive side of the speaker receives 17 volts
thru one diode and a resistor and the negative side is connected via
transistor to ground and the transistor is driven by 4001 IC.
Is it an ordinary electromagnetic speaker? Can't it be some of that piezo
parts? A 17Vpp is pretty high. Too high for a low impedance 2.5" speaker.
Try to connect some audio oscillator to it. If you hear nothing at 1kHz/10V
then the speaker is really gone.
