philco 610 speaker issues
#1

All, I just finished a Philco 610 that I plan on putting in my Radiobar.  When I purchased this Radiobar it was equipped with a 36 GE radio but when I restored it it was obvious that originally it came with a 610.  I'm finally getting around to converting it back to a 610.  When I restore  radios I try to go with an original un-restored look rather than putting obviously new components under the chassis or going with the new look.  All the caps were replaced except for the molded micas.  I keep the peeling paint and only clean parts that will effect performance.  I just finished the chassis today and discovered a speaker problem.  I hear an occasional buzzing noise and I can make that noise disappear if I push on the speaker cone.  Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to send it out to be re-coned?  My speaker wires also need to be replaced and I'd like to find some cloth covered wire that's correct for this radio.  The colors are all faded from my speaker wires so I have no idea what colors the original wires were.  Can someone tell me the correct wire colors and if anyone sells the correct replacement wire?

Here are some photos of the project.
Thanks,
Keith
