Set had 8 bad tubes (haven't tested CRT yet). I had 7 of them on hand, one I had to go online to find (a 6SF7, fairly rare tube). My favorite supplier (Killduff Five and Dime) had one, then I ordered some spares from other eBay sources so I can put a couple on the shelf too.
Speaker came out clean. PM Type. No tears, coil has continuity. Alligator-clipped it to an audio source (Transistor radio). No issues, sounds good. 11-inch diameter, Magnavox label and part number.
Unusual hard-plastic cone mounted to the inside of the speaker grille, presumably offers some added acoustic value.
Glass faceplate wasn't made to come out. Took a long time to get it removed without breaking it. Nailed and spot-glued and masking-taped in place. Then a lifetime of whatever was windexed or coca-cola spilled down the front, into the tablesaw-cut groove in which it was nearly-permanently seated. Got it out though. Cleaned up well.
Final de-bugging of cabinet. Clean enough to come inside. No more working on the truck bed.
