I have a Transitone table radio model 46-200 that someone has been in before and messed up. There was an oversize electrolytic tied on top of the chassis and connected underneath via two long wires that ran around the end of the chassis. When I flipped it over there was an oversize 2 section electrolytic can covered in masking tape tied underneath with just 1 section also connected via very long wires. The original speaker is gone and was replaced with a tiny 3" one that is held on by a metal strap fastened to it with a screw and soldered to the chassis. So, having seen all that mess I am somewhat apprehensive about the thing in the photo. Is it original and if it is, what is it?
