just take the 3 nuts off of the backside of the speaker board and remove speaker. the grill cloth is also on a thinner 'board' if us push the decorative screws out the front the board with the cloth will come out when you want to re-due the case.

Be VERY carefull when working on the chassis it is easy to break the dial scale. it's held on with a setscrew and might be best to remove it. Or you can do what I did last month, break it and buy a reproduction from Mark Icon_eek

I would get a new 36 tube as well, the circuit can be a pita to get to work if the 1st 36 is weak.

they are not to bad to work on and they play quite nicely with a 10' or so antenna.
