I've only just spotted your latest tip, Rob, so thanks for that.
The 'new' speaker arrived this morning but, unfortunately, is too big. It's only an inch out but that's enough to hit the tuning mechanism.
I there reverted to my previous plan of using two small 8Ω ones in parallel. At first they sounded a bit shrill but a quick test showed that upping the tone corrector cap would improve matters. However, when properly mounted they sound fine. They certainly did a few minutes ago when 6 Music played 'Cum on Feel the Noize.' It's also confirmed that the output stage is in rude health.
There is NO hum and this is with a smoother short and a couple of unscreened jump leads. It certainly bodes well for the finished product.
Thanks again for the help.
