Hi JZ
Glad to hear you got it working again. As for the dial cord you might try look in a sewing shop for some thick thread. Here in the States you can get dial cord but I don't know if it makes sense to pay the shipping over to Portugal.
The speaker is another issue as the modern ones have such a large magnets it's difficult to mount the output transformer. I think fabrication is going to be the way to go. I'm not sure if the magnet will effect the electron flow inside the tube if placed close enough. You can try ebay but it's hard to say what you'll get in the end.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
