Thought the added tail might be for strain relief, but could find no point of tie off in the speaker base or radio case. Am making a 3/4" wooden speaker base extension since my mason jar mod. is a bit taller then original. Could easily mount a tie off hook there. Same with the radio case.
The grid leak resistor is labeled AEROVOX, fixed grid leak, Tested 3 Meg ohms, but tests 6 meg. now. When it comes time to fire the radio up was going for giving it a try as is and see what happens.
The "markings" on the radio chassis for the missing audio transformer indicates it was physically the same size. At least as far as the mounting holes drilled through the chassis and case diameter shadow left in it's place. Have noted all your recommendations for replacements in the future . Would be nice to keep original look and function.
Thanks again for your input and advice. It will be put to good use.
