Jeff asked: "Now you have me wondering. What on earth was the purpose of all that junk around the electrostat tweeter? If it was not to mount the thing in the cabinet, then I'm baffled."

I seriously doubt it Jeff, unless a previous owner encountered the problem of broken mounting clips. In my case the silicon was used to dampen the unit from speaker vibration. The material used to make the tweeter is very thin, almost a clamshell design. I squeezed just a bit in the joint and (neatly, I might add) ran a bead behind where it mounts. The main speaker mounts right next to it, on small board of (either) blackish pressboard or very thin plywood. The grill cloth attaches to the other side.
I'm sure yours is tidy, but my C730 has seen some wars before coming into my life. Still, I've been working on it for about 8-months now and not only does it have SOLID gain and excellent reception, it has developed a nice glow from all the attention and polishing. A VERY sweet radio and a Zenith classic!
