So the speaker had a sandpit in it... any thoughts on what I should do here? What happens if I unscrew this to try and clean it up? (I'd just do it and see, but I really don't want to trash a speaker that works when its 82-odd years old...)

Is it ok to give it a bit of a vacuum in around the spider? It feels a little crunchy when moved by hand, but it does sound ok when the radio is playing through it.

There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives
