Update on the set:

-3/4 of the way through the recap job, i still have 9 paper caps and 1 small ecap to go.
-Replaced the selenium rectifier and old diode with 1N4007 and 20ohm resistors.
-Replaced the HV lead to the CRT with a modern one.
-Replaced globar resistors. Old ones tested at 900 and 1300 ohms. Spec is 75 ohms!!
-Readjusted the ion trap and all basic controls.

Some progress as you can see from the picture. Not enough vertical size and horizontal is way too wide. Neither it adjustable better than that. Sound is good.

The speaker cone is damaged, is it a standard replacement or do I need to send it out for rebuild?
