OK I think IF I get these radios working again I might try this mod on at least one of them.
 Another question:  While checking the components of the 180 I found the output trans. was open, which was discussed on a different thread.  Now I found the speaker field coil open too.  What kind of event would cause both trans. to fault at the same time?   The rest of the radio components all seem to be in working order.  So I'm just curious -- is there something to look for that would cause this event?

Thanks
