The 282's speaker had quite a few tears in its cone, which I fixed with some fabric glue. Sounds much better now. Not perfect as the voice coil starts rubbing at higher volume levels, causing distortion.

Here is the reassembled 282 on the bench, playing AM 740 from Toronto, loud and mostly clear (as long as I do not turn the volume up too much).

I still have some final clean-up items to take care of on this set, including addressing the pilot lamp issues, but it will do for the time being.
