37-116 - speaker and grommets' placement
#1

1. When having bought the 37-116 I received a "mixed bag of goodies" with it that contains amongst other stuff a long strip of felt.

I suspect it goes around the speaker but wanted to ask those who had restored same or similar radios in the past whether it is in fact true, and how do you secure it to the circumference - do you glue it or how is it dealt with at all?

Or is it something else? (The speaker was in the cabinet when I got it but the strip wasn't , and the speaker was secured by only one big bolt and one wood screw).

2. Have bunch of grommets, mostly silicon. Some are still soft, some started to crack.
There is a pair of a thick one, about 2/3" with large diameterindent and then a through hole, and another pair of thinner ones, about 1/4", with same type indent and a through hole, and then simple 1/4" round ones with a through hole.....

Where do they go?

The wooden horizontal support bars for the chassis inside the cabinet have two pairs of round milled out dimples, each one consisting of two overlapping circles of two different diameters, and I suspect some flatter grommets go in there, but I could use precise info.

Anyone knows this?
