Newest addition a 38-690
#4

Well, you're lucky in that 1) no re-coning is needed, 2) no transformer replacement is needed, 3) etc - the radio works and essentially needs very minor work.

Mine, on the other hand, after all the recap etc (I have an on-going thread on it) has both interstage and output transformers bad, both tweeters re-coned, the woofer patched (the wood cone inside broke, fell in and made a huge hole in the cone), Candohms questionable (kinda work but same as yours, internal contacts are iffy...so I think I will make it go and when all works will replace them - I actually bought all the replacements).
Oh, and my chassis is painted with a silver paint, with a brush at that. Icon_lol

And welcome again!

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.
