Today I took the baffle board out, and took the speaker off.
As I said before, the transformer is bad. I happened to have a 90 xfmr for a single 47 tube output, but its lug base board is missing one lug and one is damaged, so I intend to try to swap it with the existing transforner which is bad but has good lug board.
Then I will put the xfmr to the speaker (boy it is involved) and change the wiring.
Then put back the speaker, grillcloth and all if it back in the radio.
Qs:
1. Do I use the regular grillcloth for 20/70/90? It is different from that golden cloth but if this is the closest then....sure. Or is there a better match?
2. The sunk holes for the screws holding the speaker are under the cloth and the screws are not imbedded, they are supposed to be held and tightened by a screwdriver. So, this means the speaker has to be mount before the grillcloth goes on. With the speaker attached this is, to put it mildly, extremely inconvenient.
Has anyone done it and are there any tricks?

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.
