Update.... I had a new 10" PM speaker and an appropriate power resistor to use - but browsing Ebay recently, I found the actual speaker. The seller had listed some assorted radio parts from an estate - some of which were the dial scales from a Tropic. He also had a 10" speaker listed as "unknown" - so I had him check the voice and field coil - which were spot-on for this radio. I'll start recapping soon - but at least I won't have to worry about the speaker work-around now.

However - the grill cloth was a bit tattered and dirty. I tried gently hand washing it - big mistake!!! Even using cold water, it shrunk up just enough to be unusable. Radio Daze used to carry a reasonable-looking replacement (pattern #69) - but they no longer do. Does anyone have a spare bit they'd like to sell - or do you know of someone who does??? It would need to be about 12" wide and 16" in length. Any direction would be greatly appreciated......
