hi truckernix,
yes i found the part number on the speaker and it matches the parts list: 7255903 Electro Dynamic 6-3/8 x 9-1/4 Elliptical
working on my last radio i was fortunate to source this same speaker part number from someone up in Oregon

attached are more photos of the speaker and some tube testing
(all good!, but you have to push the big red button for test, so ignore that the needle is in the "replace" area in the photo)

unfortunately the electrolytic capacitor was much too gone, overnight it was not showing any signs of healing, the leakage was much too high and i hadn't reached anywhere near usable voltages.
so like others online suggested, i opened it up and stuff it with modern parts , at least it looks okay and it's a convenient place to put the new caps because they would get a bit in the way on the underside
