Heathkit clock speaker?

Finding a way to reduce the duty cycle might be a means to get away with a
more commonly available lower impedance speaker.
AFAICS, at 25VDC a 40 ohm speaker would draw 600mA when the transistor
switches on, regardless of duty cycle, assuming the transistor has a
high enough gain at whatever base drive the IC provides. An MPS-A20
transistor is only rated for 100mA.
