Found today at Goodwill
#11

Jayce,

That's a pretty nice find to have come from Goodwill.

I'll bet that speaker can be fixed up without too much trouble. I've repaired torn speaker cones with used fabric softner sheets that my clothes dryer uses. It's some kind of tough, very thin cloth-like material. I've used as cement Aleene's Original Tacky Glue to hold it all together. It dries flexible and clear. Works pretty well.

Good luck with your radio.

Tom
