Brought home a fada
#8

Jayce, I have not looked at the speaker much other than blowing off years of dust. The cone itself shows some warping something to look in to in the future. Perhaps a little light spray of water on it might have it relax a bit? Hard to see in the picture of it. A fairly rigid spider on it so hopefully the voice coil is well centered. Time will tell after I solve the tuner problem.
It has had repeated applications of pbblaster and a few light taps, no joy yet. I will be patient.

PS: This radio came down through the Fulco family. A family of 6 all of which are musically very talented. There house was filled with recording gear. To bad the radio wasn't a Philco or I could have obtained the Fulco's Philco!
