Hi Ron, Yes I need to clean a few tube sockets a little better than just the contact cleaner I used. I need to get to a wielding supply company and find one of those small thin round files that wielders use.

The speaker sounds like it is rubbing. IF I touch it slightly where the first flat ridge (up from the spider) where the seams meet it will stop. That seam has been reinforced with a thin coat of rubber cement already. Also if I push on this area with the radio off I get a clicking sound. I haven't tried centering the spider yet and there still may be some dirt in there. I had to re-glue the speaker edge to the frame and I may have got something of center while doing this.
