Hoping the voice coil is okay as the cone is complete doo doo...
what are your experiences with overhauling this model??
The riders seems a bit hard to follow, is there a better schematic??
Lend me your input...

Nice find! Someone else with a Philco 16B made a series of videos documenting the restoration of his set. They're on YouTube and I'd highly recommend watching all 30(!) of them.
With regards to your speaker, I just wrapped up a Philco 43B that has the same or a very similar speaker to yours. It was chewed up by rodents so after verifying the field coil was OK, I sent it off to be reconed. It only cost about $60, and I was very happy with the results.
Here's the link to part 1:
