I hadn't thought about the speaker.  That would explain the black oval hole.

I noticed the transformer mounted next to the PTO so figured that was a 600-8-ohm transformer and I suppose the CL-80s are mounted on the terminal strips next to that.  What I'm still wondering about is the other "stuff" mounted next to the PTO further to the front.

As for the seller, as far as I know, I don't know him.  The ad quotes Chuck Rippel but I don't think Chuck is selling that radio.  Is K1QAR on this list?
