It appears that way, I guess. Thank you for being patient. Now, another stupid question on my part:

I'm confused about part 172, marked "tweeter field" on my schematic. Obviously this part is open, and I'm assuming it's the main speaker field coil. However, why is it marked "tweeter field" on the schematic? Obviously I wouldn't be thrilled about having the coil on that massive speaker rewound, but would do it if I needed to. The main speaker's field coil reads about 4.2K ohms. Don't know how far off that is, as there are no resistances given on the schematic for it.
Again, thank you for your patience.
