New speaker is in the 48-200 and the red and blue wires have been resodered and shrink wrap tubing was applied.

I still have the green wire issue. The photo shows that the green wire goes to different place on the speaker than the red and blue wire.

I did not notice this before, but there is a cut off green wire on the 48-200 leading to somewhere in the chassis, but I am not sure where.

Logic would seem that I should just connect the two green wires together and problem solved. But I would like to know what the green wire is for and what it should actually connect to.

Additionally, the radio is working great. Nice and clear voices, sound, music and very easy to tune. The home made antenna (now off the cardboard) works well and is ready to be attached to the inside of the case.
