Hi Dan, yes this chassis is a brute. When I got mine 10 years ago, I found this chassis jig to be quite handy. After mounting the chassis to it you can adjust if for multiple angles to work on the radio. I purchased it from a member on here but can’t recall who that was! Have fun, this radio is a lot of work, multiple Bakelite blocks to restuff but no big deal, the tuner on a separate chassis that is crammed full, the #2 band oscillator coil that will most likely need to be rewound and a tedious alignment procedure for the high fidelity IF and AFC system. As for speaker removal, after removing the nut and bolts, I was easily able to remove it while still upright by holding it back as far as possible and carefully bringing it up and tilting it. It is a great sounding set once done!
