>what is up with these speaker wires?
I would just replace them. Two of them have HV on them (connected to the field coil) and the other two are more or less at ground potential. Radiodaze sell a good selection of colored wire.
> I feel might be hard-pressed to really fit new caps inside
Don't think it will be a problem. Modern caps are fairly small 10 and 22mfd aren't giant. Look for 105 deg. If you want have a look at Hayseed https://hayseedhamfest.com/pages/quote They can manufacture a new twist lock caps.
> Is there a modern ceramic that will fit and has the right 3.0 stylus?
Generally The crystal cart have a pretty high output like 2-3v where the ceramic are abt a volt. It maybe be difficult to get full volume. I don't fool w/phonos much.
>what the heck is this hole for?
Methinks the diagram sez it's a test point to measure the avc volt when doing the rf and if alignment.

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.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
