You are scaring the guy
yes the problems are typical but not necessarily encountered. The speaker to be non-working is 50/50, with the field coil being the worst that can happen.
In my first 20 I had to re-cone the speaker and put a new transformer in it, but the field was OK.
In my other 20 Delux.....I think the field coil was bad.
I am yet to look into the plain 20 which Tom gifted me.
Haven't encountered open coils.
To me the nastiest part of restoring the 20 is emptying that capacitor array can. It is truly messy operation. Somehow a similar can in 16 emptied just fine, a can in 111 was a walk in the park, but this one.......nah-stee.
Other than that.......

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
