Jeff,
I posted to you on your FB post regarding the speaker rattling. On my 37-116X the green colored adhesive that secures the cone to the speaker basket was flaking off. I used rubber cement to resecure the cone to the basket. Truth be known, there is probably a better way to do this. I sort of looked at the rubber cement as a somewhat temporary fix, as it can be removed. I have two complete radios, and this speaker is from the donner rig, but would like to ask this group what a good permanent repair would be. I would assume an acid free adhesive, but have not yet found one that is good with both paper and steel. Maybe the rubber cement is a good solution, but am open to suggestions.

I removed the screw and nut holding the spider, and wiggled the spider/cone around. Re-seated the nut and reinstalled and tightened down the screw. It seems to be a lot better. The cone seems to be secured pretty well all around the edge. There's a cardboard washer secured by a series of screws around the perimeter that looks pretty solid, so I don't think that is an issue.
