You've encouraged me to forget about any modifications. I guess I was a bit discouraged when I saw that the output was only 1 watt. I've already ordered the caps, but they haven't yet arrived. The flat oval speaker was a surprise for me, also. It seems to be in good shape with only one small tear that I have since repaired.
One of the previous owners had disconnected the speaker and sent the output transformer secondary out through an external jack. Going to have to explore that a bit more, to see if the objective was to replace a poorly performing original speaker. The small oval has good voice coil continuity; moves freely without rubbing, and responds to a battery "click" test, but as I mentioned in my posting, yesterday, the output is clean, but extremely weak.
