picked this up locally awhile back, speaker ripped to bits. I reconed the speaker. Then tried the set and the big BC resistor got hot. I figured the speaker trans was bad, so found one at playthings of the past. Installed that, and no change. So did some checking and found the speaker leads missing insulation and touching under the plug. Fixed that and now got audio and no hot resistor. I still have to recap this set.
If I can recone a speaker, anyone can.
