[TenTec] Replacing the speaker in a Delta II/Argonaut II

re: external jack

I will take a look.... thank you for the suggestion. It would make sense considering 
the internal speaker still works.

I agree that an external speaker does sound better, but if I ever 
decide to sell it, I would prefer it be 100% (I have already 
found and replaced the blue EL backlight.)

I have a Delta II that I am refurbing, and it appears that the internal speaker has 
some sort of issue or short. After a few minutes the audio gets very distorted, and 
the audio amp module gets very hot. An external speaker plugged into the external 
jack works fine, and the module stays cool.

In looking at the how the rig's aluminum frame is put together, it looks like I have to 
completely disassemble the radio to get access to the screws that hold the internal 
speak in place.

Has anyone ever done this replacement, and if so, is there an easier way?
