John,
The internal speaker was replaced with a new one of about the same size. Not to be coy but it sounds like an old A.M. radio to me. The tone is pretty good meaning that deeper is better for me as I'm about as deaf as a rock.
Dan - Don't look too closely, pictures can be real deceiving. I'm trying to do the best I can with the cards that were dealt. Thanks for the kind compliment though.
