Thanks, Greg! 
I'm very happy that this project went smoothly and reasonably fast, and especially that it came on and played the very first time. 
I think I am going to let Sound Remedy in NJ recone the speaker. I've suggested this company to others but have never used their services myself. I've seen good feedback about them, notably from Mike (morzh) who has used them more than once, I believe.
That dial...it looks sort of Philco-ish...but looks good. I'll order a new dial scale and the decals needed for this set's cabinet this weekend. I will be ordering a new dial cover from Mark P. as well - the dial cover on my set is badly yellowed and somewhat more opaque than translucent.
Oh yes, and there is still the matter of how to re-mount the Fahnestock clip for the antenna.
