Don't even think about doing this! The Pegasus has + dc voltage on both
speaker leads. There is no dc isolation between the output IC and the
speaker. You may be able to use a non-polarized electrolytic in series with
the speaker leads to accomplish this. Radio Shack has them.

Subject: [TenTec] Pegasus - external speaker?
>
> I want to share an existing external speaker between my Pegasus and a
> TS930. It is relatively easy to install a phono jack parallel to the
> bottom of the Pegasus chassis. The 930 speaker allows its user to select
> between two inputs. Great!
>
> However, it seems that the TS930 grounds one of its speaker leads. I
> checked the Pegasus PC board pins (speaker disconnected). Neither of them
> seems grounded - I get the same resistance from each of them to ground. I
> am reluctant to float the 550's speaker leads and then attach them to the
> 930 speaker. Has anyone had experience with this? Am I "out of luck" here?
