Hey guys,

I am working on my 4th set now.  Just got a nice Philco 511.  Speaker is almost mint condition.. even the original cloth looks great.  I'm just wondering before I start gutting it.... Is it worth restoring electronically?..or is the neutralization and alignment nearly impossible for an amateur?  I'm not too intimidated but any helpful input on this project would be great.  Also, are all the specs correct on the schematic?  Do any of these 211 speakers actually still work?.. I was told it does but am skeptical.  Thanks-
Mark
