Hello everyone,
Well ,I decided to do a quick restoration of one of my AA5 radio a General Electric model 547 .
Really a simple restoration the one major issue is dealing with the speaker the speaker frame is rusty I wonder how to deal with the rust without damaging the cone or getting metal in where you don't want it .
 
I will post a photo of the speaker .

Sincerely Richard
