Default Re: orange loudspeakers ?

Hello there,
It is very similar to the one that John Evans has, in fact the chassis and dial glass are identical. If you look closly you can see that the loudspeaker cones are orange as well. This also has a massive cabinet the width being around 27" wide (approx 686 mm) I have got it going after replacing most of the usual suspect capacitors but the sliding wave change contacts are not very good and they crackle a lot even after cleaning them all and retensioning the contacts.
Due to the massive size of this radio I am thinking of taking it to the next Radiophile event at Shifnal and putting it on the bring and (hopefully someone ) buys stand for a few pounds.
