The one thing I am always afraid with these radios is the speaker being bad. Considering the grill cloth was replaced, I did not have any way of knowing what shape the cone would be in.
Before I even started taking the radio apart I took the meter to the speaker's plug. The results were encouraging: both the field coil and the output transformer's primary were good.
Then I took the speaker away....Jubilations!!! (S&G) the cone was in great shape with a small hole which I schmeared some rubber cement on. Almost looks new. Just dusty.

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.
