Hi Peter,
As for the spkr what you are looking for is a U-2 spkr. The H style spkrs are not as robust as the U models. I'm pretty sure I have a U-9 which came out of a 116X. The FC is abt 350 ohms higher than the U-2 and the transformer matches p/p 6A3.
The cone got wet at some point before I got the set. I ended up using it for a test spkr for a while and now it's just sitting somewhere...
I can get it over to Mike as he is abt an hour drive from me.
Over a number of years I've picked up a few of the 16/116B series. These are the tabletop version of your set. Obtw they use the H-13 spkr.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
