Back to working on this, pretty much everything is done minus the RF coil, which I'm putting off until last. Thanks for the tips on the tone control, it's in place and ready to go. This is a very clean chassis, the only rubber wire in this set went to the tone control, happy to only have to replace one. Installed a fuse, almost ready for a test power up:
Got a replacement speaker off eBay, it arrived a little greener than I expected, probably verdigris:
Came off in no time with a little Naval Jelly:
The wires in the replacement speaker were in good shape, too, enough that I could still read the colors. Hopefully 18 gauge stranded will be thick enough to replace it with, the wire that was in there was a little thicker but it looks like most of that was the cloth. Next I'll connect that speaker, bring it up slowly and hope for filament glow!
