Replacing the 2 tubes and the speaker repair has greatly improved the audio quality. Definitely not what you would call great but then I never expected stereo quality. Its what would have been acceptable back in the 30's. I call this project done.

terry, thanks for the links to your speaker repairs but doing that sort of repair kinda scares me. Think I will leave that sort of repair to others.
