Nah, for $23.50 all told I'm not going to pursue it. It was salvaged out of a gutted cabinet, and I don't have any reason to suspect he knew it was any good.
Meanwhile, I think I may have damaged the cone myself. At least I get to pracitce Syl's repair techniques.
Blast.
*eternal optimist checking in* Oh, hey, eBag's got a 36-1528-4 listed for $10...  Not perfect stock but at least it has the field coil attached!
