The reconed spkr came in today. The good news is that Sound Reamieds did a great job on the recone and the price was as advertised ($45+ shipping). The bad news is (no I didn't poke a hole in it!) I still have a buzz @ moderate volume and low frequencies (bass notes). At this point I'm leaning towards a bad output transformer. Have a loose Hammond 125E that I'm going to give a try to hear if that fixes it. The VC impedance on the 8"spkr is a bit lower than the early 116B like Bob's. The 125E would be a better match for the older rather than the late 116B.
Off to warm up the soldering iron...

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.

Now I think I've got!
