[Collins] Wanted 312A-1 help and parts

[ralph]

Tom:
I just restored my speaker and will be glad to share some info and possibly
some parts. I'm on my way out to do an errand but will write a longer post
to you when I get back. I'll write privately unless someone wants to see
what I write, they can let me know.
